Abstract

Suicide by hanging is one of the commonest methods of committing suicide. Suicide cases are many a times just an attempt done hesitantly, but some succeed and some survive. Here we report a case where the deceased has confessed by writing in the suicide note that she is just attempting and does not know whether she will survive or not. Unfortunately she succumbed to it. It is interesting to note in the case that it was just an attempt to hang herself revealed by the message in the suicide note. Suicide note is a very important piece of corroborative evidence in suicide cases. ©2013 JPAFMAT. All rights reserved.
