Abstract

The authors present extraordinary autopsy findings, i.e. metallic mercury deposits within the cardiac muscle of a 28-year-old deceased of a male sex. Eleven years previously, the man had injected metallic mercury to the vein in the elbow region with a suicidal intent. Eighteen months later, during diagnostic management of dyspnea, metallic deposits in various internal organs had been revealed and a case history of the patient was published. Subsequently, the patient failed to report for follow-up examinations, and finally, committed suicide by hanging.
