Abstract

A 23-year-old man committed suicide by detonating an explosive substance clutched to his abdomen. The face was singed, the hands were lacerated and the chest and the upper part of abdomen were badly mutilated. The death was due to the destruction of several vital organs. The injuries had a directional nature. Only the consideration of all the facts of the case in relation to the situation, nature, distribution and extent of wounds and the preceding medical and social history allowed a reconstruction of the circumstances.
