Abstract

A 36-year-old psychotic man was found dead in a field that was not far from the location where he used to live. An external examination showed more than 100 sharp force wounds that were localized at the lumbosacral region, gluteal regions, and the lower limbs, but not on the face, neck, chest, and abdomen. Data from judicial inspection and autopsy findings suggested suicidal death due to hemorrhagic shock by superficial venous vessel lesions. © 2018, World Informations Syndicate. All rights reserved.
