TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - An unusual case of suicidal carbon monoxide poisoning JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Wehr, K. A1 - Schäfer, Andreas SP - 155 EP - 160 VL - 180 IS - 5-6 N2 - A 35 years old student with prior suicidal tendencies was found dead laying enclosed in a plastic-bag together with four plastic-bags of minor capacity. Three bags were opened by cuts and empty, one bag contained 73 1 of 83.2 Vol.% carbon monoxide. Postmortem carboxyhemoglobin concentrations in blood of five different regions of the corpse ranged from 80.3% to 93.4%. From the circumstances--chemicals and apparatus--it could be reconstructed that carbon monoxide was produced by the reactions of formic acid and sulfuric acid.
