Abstract

The case of a young man who committed suicide in a lions' den of a zoo is presented. Special attention is paid to the injury pattern which was characterised by numerous penetrating, stab-like wounds and lesions. The remarkable circumstances and history of this incident are most likely connected to a psychological or psychiatric disorder of the victim.
