Abstract

In September 1989 an old motor car was accidentally discovered in a lake, 50 meters below the water surface. The automobile contained the torso of an adult woman with extensive adipocere formation and the skeletonized body of a man. Forensic and criminalistic investigations lead to the identification of the deceased persons. In the year 1939 the persons together had committed suicide. The corpses were immersed for fifty years.
