Suicide in the Bath Using Weight and Elevation of Feet.

Case Report
American Journal of Forensic Medicine & Pathology. 29(1):80-82, March 2008.
Racette, Stephanie BSc; Sauvageau, Anny MD, MSc

Abstract:
Suicide by drowning in the bath is rare. Because it implies to drown in a small volume of water, adult victims are often under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. More rarely, the use of weights is seen to induce drowning. Here is the case of a 62-year-old woman found dead in the bath. Her feet were tied and elevated by a rope attached to the shower head and a hammer was taped to her forehead. This very unique suicide is reported along with review of the literature on suicide in the bath.

Abstract:
We present a case of an accidental autoerotic death involving the inhalation of a propane-butane gas mixture, also known as LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). A 19-year-old male was found dead in supine position in his bed in a residential accommodation one day after he was last seen alive. On a personal computer at the end of the bed, a pornographic movie was still running. On his left shoulder, an empty rubber balloon and on the bedside 2 empty "Kisag-Gas" cartridges were found. Toxicologic investigations revealed an intoxication with propane and butane, together with a recent consumption of cannabis. This case report compares the toxicologic findings with other recently published cases, and the theories of the toxic effects are discussed.
