Annotation. The article attempts to highlight up those problems, that arise during forensic medical examinations in cases of incidents that are accompanied by a large number of victims. The materials of the archives of the Odessa Regional Bureau of Forensic Medical Examination were subject to analysis, which contained the results of forensic medical examinations of corpses of persons killed in fires (34 cases), results of site inspections, regulations governing the forensic service. As a result of the study, a purely specific method of forensic examination in these cases was proposed – a comprehensive comparative assessment of injuries in a large number of victims and an attempt was made to substantiate the opinion that such a group of victims is an independent object of forensic examination.
