Exogenous intoxication can be defined as the clinical manifestations resulting from the interaction of a chemical with a living organism. Being a major cause of morbidity and mortality is considered a public health problem. In order to analyze the prevalence of exogenous intoxication in the necropsies of the Forensic Medical Institute of Belo Horizonte, a cross-sectional study of the autopsy reports from the period 2006 to 2012 was carried out. A total of 447 reports were analyzed whose cause of death was exogenous intoxication. The majority were men, with the highest concentration of cases between 40 and 49 years. Blacks and singles predominated. Most were active from an occupational point of view and in an occupation that did not require a higher education course. In the majority of cases, the alcohol test was negative. The toxicological screening was positive in 89.4% of the cases, predominating the pesticides, especially the carbamates. The most prevalent death circumstance was suicide, and most necropsies were not submitted to medical procedures prior to death. The study made it possible to trace the profile of deaths related to exogenous intoxication in a regionally localized area, which may be useful in the elaboration of more specific and effective prevention strategies.
