TY - JOUR PY - 1985// TI - "Swinging in the park". An investigation of an autoerotic death JO - American journal of forensic medicine and pathology A1 - Hiss, Jehuda A1 - Rosenberg, S. B. A1 - Adelson, L. SP - 250 EP - 255 VL - 6 IS - 3 N2 - Death during autoerotic episodes is of special concern to law enforcement officials, the coroner or medical examiner, the family of the decedent, and to society as a whole. As in the probing of any violent demise, accurate preservation of all evidentiary material, complete photographic documentation, reconstruction of the scene, and interviews with family and acquaintances ("psychological autopsy") are mandatory for proper completion of the case. A recent, atypical instance of sexual asphyxia arising from a bizarre incident exemplifies the foregoing dicta and provides a vivid example of "psychopathia sexualis."
