Abstract

The authors report on the suicide of a 27-year-old woman with extreme self-inflicted injuries. The victim suffered from schizophrenic psychosis with several stays in mental institutions and one previous suicide attempt. Autopsy revealed multiple cut and stab injuries in various body regions (51 stabs to the chest, cutting off parts of ears and nose, stab to the eye and transection of the scalp). Death was caused by exsanguination.
