abstract="There are a great number of complex suicides in the literature. It will be useful to the scientific community to expand the list of methods employed by suicidal individuals which are encountered by Forensic experts worldwide. Frequently seen combinations are the ingestion of a toxic substance in combination with hanging, use of a gun with hanging, drowning and injuries from knives or jumping from heights. We present a case of a complex suicide of a young woman by using ingestion of kerosene associated with hanging. Forensic autopsy findings and circumstantial evidence were in favor of suicide without the intervention of another person. This case illustrates an example of complex suicide which is an uncommon way of suicide in this part of the country. © 2018 Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
