Abstract

A 46-year-old man was found dead at the foot of a mountain, with a bloody knife aside of his neck. A horizontal throat cut wound with multiple vertebral incisions was observed, with damages of neck vessels and pharynx. There were also three stab wounds in the abdomen and a horizontal cut in the anterior side of left proximal arm. He had suffered from depression. Scene circumstances and autopsy findings pointed toward a suicidal etiology.
