Abstract

An adolescent boy who was being treated for psychiatric illness went missing. The body was discovered a year later, and he appeared to have committed suicide by inhaling the exhaust fumes from his motorbike. This report highlights the procedure used for the identification of his skeletonized body and the unusual nature of the source of exhaust fumes.
