abstract="A suicide note is an important tool for medico-legal investigation on the manner and circumstances surrounding the death. It can also act as a facilitator for organ donation when the victim expresses their wish to do so. This article cites four examples, where the victims had specifically mentioned a &quot;last wish&quot; to donate their organs. The importance of such &quot;expressed consent&quot; in suicide notes is discussed. Such observations are not found in available scientific literature and are of importance in countries where there is a long waiting list for organ recipients and a very large number of suicidal deaths.<br><br>© The Author(s) 2016.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
