TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Complex suicide: a case series JO - Journal of forensic nursing A1 - Singh Sonwani, Nagendra A1 - Ateriya, Navneet A1 - Kumar Verma, Satish A1 - Kumar Aggarwal, Narinder SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Suicide is a common manner of death typically carried out via a specific mechanism. When a suicidal act is committed using more than one method, it is called a complex suicide. A complex suicide can be divided into planned and unplanned. We present three cases of complex suicide in which multiple methods were used and a previous history of self-harm was present. This case series highlights the significance of a detailed medicolegal death investigation, including interviews with relatives and other witnesses, and a thorough forensic autopsy/toxicological analysis to ascertain the cause and manner of death.
