abstract="AIM: We report an unusual case of &quot;failed suicide&quot; in an oldest old woman who was apparently &quot;aging successfully&quot;. <br><br>METHOD: This case was analysed in the light of a careful literature review. <br><br>RESULTS: This was an unusual case of failed suicide, attempted by a 94-year-old woman who had planned the suicide several days earlier. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The unusual features of this case relate to: 1) the person's female gender and very advanced age; 2) her apparently &quot;Successful aging&quot; condition; 3) the violent method and unusual means she used; 4) the suicide note written several days beforehand. © 2008, Editrice Kurtis.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
