Abstract

The case history of a 51 year-old man with paranoid-hallucinatory schizophrenia is presented. Very intensive autoaggressive actions (cutting off the ears, partial amputation of the penis, eating of the amputated pieces, sawing off the left lower leg) led to very unusual autopsy findings (i.e. the glans of the penis was found in the colon). The cause of death was prolonged exsanguination.
