Background: Sports events in general allow a massive influx of spectators. The 33rd edition of the African Cup of Nations football which took place in Cameroon from 09 January to 06 February 2022 was marked by a tragic event on 24 January 2022. Objective: To describe the thanatological aspects of the victims of the fatal stampede at the Olembe stadium in Yaounde. Method: At the request of the National Gendarmerie, a panel of 4 forensic doctors was appointed to conduct medico-legal autopsies in order to determine the causes of death and establish the medico-legal form. 8 victims (5 men and 3 women) were identified. The lesions were mostly located in the cephalic and thoracoabdominal stages. The autopsy found extradural hematomas associated or not with fractures of the arch or base of the skull; signs of mechanical asphyxiation, chest bruises with or without uni or pluricostal fractures. Accidental violent death was the preferred forensic form. Conclusion: Deaths related to stampede are relatively common. The victims have a varied lesional typology. The medico-legal autopsy is essential to establish the medico-legal form of death.
