Abstract

A suicide case is reported where the person first tried to kill himself with electrical appliances in the bathtub. The repeatedly ineffective attempts to commit suicide by electrical current were documented by the man with short hand-written notes in an impressive manner. Finally the man committed suicide by hanging himself. The case complements the experimental determined parameters which define the potential danger of electric current in a water-filled bathtub.
