Abstract

The ingestion of pesticides for suicide commitment purposes is common in developing countries. We present a case of suicide with ingestion of mixed pesticides. The autopsy findings showed the presence of diazinon, chlorpyrifos, trifluralin, fenpropathrin, pyriproxyfen, and cypermethrin in his body. Clinicians managing poisoning cases need to be aware of poisoning with mixture of pesticides as a rare but highly fatal outcome.
