Massive pulmonary embolism arising from thrombi located in the deep veins of the lower extremities was the cause of death in four of 12 cases. In three others, fresh deep venous thrombosis was present in the absence of pulmonary embolism. Additionally, the investigators also found fresh thrombosis in the prostatic venous plexus of six of nine men
