N2  - A 67-year-old woman committed suicide by smothering her head tightly in gummed tape. When the body was found, a putrefactive greenish discoloration had spread across the neck, chest and abdomen; but the face was spared. The pale face and the greenish trunk caused a striking contrast. This distribution pattern of discoloration was produced by the gummed tape, which smothered the head and prevented the formation of sulfhemoglobin by blocking entry of ambient oxygen into the skin.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
