TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Characteristic postmortem computed tomography findings of ingestion of benzine JO - BJR case reports A1 - Tokue, Hiroyuki A1 - Kominato, Yoshihiko A1 - Sano, Rie A1 - Takahashi, Yoichiro A1 - Hayakawa, Akira A1 - Fukuda, Haruki A1 - Tokue, Azusa A1 - Tsushima, Yoshito SP - e20200212 EP - e20200212 VL - 7 IS - 3 N2 - There are some reports investigating the cause of death by examining the contents of the stomach and duodenum using postmortem computed tomography, but most of these have been based on radiopaque contents. Here, we report a case of suicide after ingesting a large amount of benzine. Although the gastric contents were radiolucent, the characteristic postmortem computed tomography imaging findings helped to determine the cause of death.
