abstract="The use of more than one method for committing suicide is known under the term &quot;combined suicide&quot;. A case is presented in which the initial findings were indicative for a suicide using a shotgun. In contrast, the toxicological analysis detected benzodiazepines and a potentially fatal concentration of chloroquine in blood serum, which is described as the method of Kusch and could be in line with the inability to fire a shotgun. Despite this, under specific circumstances the combination of chloroquine with diazepam could lead to a retained ability to act and to survive even critical doses of chloroquine. This case report outlines the potential interaction of these drugs. © 2021, The Author(s).<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
