Background: Establishing the identification of a deceased at autopsy is one of the prime objective of medicolegal postmortem examination. The identification starts with determination of age and sex of the individual. The problem arise when completely decomposed dead body or just skeletal remains are brought for postmortem examination.

Methods: The study was conducted on 90 dead bodies of equal proportion from both the genders in the year 2016 for a period of nine months. The cases were selected for study after careful scrutiny through a pre-trialed questionnaire with certain selection criteria. After proper exposure of the inner and outer surface of the cranial vault the degree of coronal suture closure was assessed in three segments as C1, C2 and C3 as observed through Acsádi‐Nemeskéri Scale.

Results: A grossly significant observation of possibility of determination sex both from ectocranial and endocranial suture closure of the coronal suture with 0.001 p value was noted, therefore establish the fact that determination of sex from closure coronal suture is established.
