TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Unusual suicide by electric saw: A case report JO - Egyptian journal of forensic sciences A1 - Zribi, M. A1 - Ben Amar, W. A1 - Bardaa, S. A1 - Hammami, Z. A1 - Maatoug, S. SP - 126 EP - 128 VL - 5 IS - 3 N2 - Suicide by power saws (bland, chain, circular or router saw) is an extreme exception. A few case reports are published in the forensic literature. We report the case of a 30-year-old carpenter found dead lying on the floor next to a router saw in his carpenter workshop, with two gaping and deep wounds in his head. We summarize the findings of the death scene examination, the forensic autopsy, and the world literature concerning suicide committed with power saws.
