abstract="Suicidal deaths caused by pipe bombs are rare. An 18-year-old man was found dead in a forest by hikers. In immediate proximity to the body, a crater was located obviously induced by a detonation. The postmortem examination revealed severe damage of the head, upper-body and both arms and hands along with the extensive presence of soot and dirt. Particularly noticeable were numerous &quot;entry wounds&quot; and the presence of five bullet like pieces of metal in the body. The young man had a history of drug abuse and psychiatric problems. On the basis of autopsy findings, the conclusions of the police investigation and psychopathological considerations regarding the victim's case-history, discussion centers upon the differentiation between suicide by self-explosion, homicide by explosion or death as a consequence of numerous bullet wounds followed by an attempt to burn the body. Also considered is the possibility of paranoid psychosis induced by cannabis use as a cause of suicide.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
