TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Suicide note written on the forearm using a sharp pointed object JO - Medico-legal journal, The A1 - Behera, Chittaranjan A1 - Rautji, Ravi A1 - Pratap Anuragi, Ramesh A1 - Niwas Yadav, Ram SP - 92 EP - 94 VL - 87 IS - 2 N2 - Suicide notes are generally written on readily available materials, such as paper, notebook, wall or mirror by means of pen, pencil, marker or chalk. They can also be communicated by telephone, text messages, internet and digital media. A case has been reported where a note was written with henna. Suicide notes written on one's body are uncommon, and notes engraved on the body with a sharp metallic object are extremely rare. We present two cases where a sharp pointed metallic object was used to write suicide notes on the body.
