N2  - A 52-year-old man died of a combination of suffocation by adherent tape wrapped around the head to cover the airway and ligature strangulation by an electrical cord. An autopsy could not conclusively determine whether it was a case of suicide or homicide. Further investigation, including investigations of the scene, the decedent's background, and the testimony of those close to the victim, helped determine the manner of death -- suicide because of a combination of several forms of asphyxia has rarely been reported in the past. Therefore, this is a very rare and unusual suicide case.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
