Here is your complete 20-mark PG FMT exam answer on Sudden Natural Deaths, built directly from your attached Dikshit textbook (Chapter 11, pp. 180-188) and supplemented with Bernard Knight's Forensic Pathology principles.

How the answer is structured (mark allocation guide):

Section	Marks
Definition (WHO + Knight)	1
System-wise frequency table (diagram)	1
Cardiovascular system in detail (coronary anatomy, types of occlusion, sequelae, MI table)	8
TTC and histological methods	2
CNS - SAH, Circle of Willis diagram, ICH, infections, epilepsy	4
Respiratory / Alimentary / GU / Miscellaneous	2
Medicolegal importance + Negative Autopsy	2
Total	20

Key exam tips from the content above:

The MI age table (gross + histology with time) is a signature 20-mark inclusion - examiners love it
TTC staining - always mention pH 8, 1% TTC, 5 mm slices, bright red = normal, pale = infarcted
Circle of Willis ASCII diagram - draw it in the exam with Berry aneurysm sites marked
Negative autopsy rate (5-8%) - Bernard Knight classic point that impresses examiners
LAD is the most common site of fatal stenosis (45-64%) - a frequent MCQ and short answer trap
The Dikshit MCQ answer confirms: "Most common cause = Cardiovascular system" and "Most common site of fatal coronary stenosis = Anterior interventricular (LAD)"
