A case of sudden death is reported that occurred as a result of Duchenne type progressive muscular dystrophy with extreme myogenic changes. These changes consisted of extensive muscular lipomatous transformation, typical of the advanced stage of the disease. The heart showed myocardial fibrosis, the respiratory system acute tracheobronchitis with early signs of bronchopneumonia.
