TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Successful suicide by insulin injection in a non-diabetic JO - Medicine, science, and the law A1 - Beastall, G. H. A1 - Gibson, I. H. A1 - Martin, J. SP - 79 EP - 85 VL - 35 IS - 1 N2 - We report the death of a young female non-diabetic after self-administration of insulin which led to the trial and conviction of her partner, who was himself an insulin-dependent diabetic. This brings out particular lessons for the pathologist in view of the rarity of such deaths, emphasizes the importance of careful laboratory analysis and illustrates a number of interesting legal points.
