Abstract

A 51-year-old woman, is found died by his ex-husband, in the house that was shared by both. She had signs of violent death, that initially were noting toward the suffocation with a plastic bag, but we can not establish the original cause of the death. When the judicial autopsy was done, we can detected that necropsy's findings point out that the cause of the death was caused by caustic poisoning (salfuman). This discovers together with a some notes found with posteriority in the place of the facts guided toward a suicidal aetiology. It will be a case, that is called 'combined or complex suicide'.
