A 70\u2010year\u2010old man with poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and alcohol abuse is reported who was found unexpectedly dead. He had last been contacted the night before his death. At autopsy, the most striking finding was deep necrotic ulceration of the scrotum with exposure of underlying deep muscles and testicles, with blood cultures positive for <jats:italic>Escherichia coli<\/jats:italic>. Death was, therefore, attributed to necrotic ulceration\/gangrene of the perineum (Fournier gangrene) that was due to <jats:italic>E.\u00a0coli<\/jats:italic> sepsis with underlying contributing factors of diabetes mellitus and alcoholism. In addition there was morbid obesity (body mass index 46.9), cirrhosis of the liver, and marked focal coronary artery atherosclerosis with significant cardiomegaly. Fournier gangrene may be an extremely aggressive condition that can result in rapid death, as was demonstrated by the rapid progression in the reported case.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1556-4029.2012.02139.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,3]],"date-time":"2012-04-03T19:38:13Z","timestamp":1333481893000},"page":"1641-1642","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Fournier Gangrene and Unexpected Death"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Danielle","family":"Bury","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roger W.","family":"Byard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_4_2_2","first-page":"984","article-title":"Jean\u2010Alfred Fournier 1832\u20131914.
