Introduction: Selecting unusual and uncommon means for suicide may be rooted in psychiatric disorders. Case Presentation: Herein, we report a case of suicide attempt occurring with a grinding stone as an unusual tool for suicide.

Conclusions: The presence of psychotic patterns and behaviors, especially auditory hallucination and depressed mood, influence suicide attempts. The selection of uncommon tools emphasizes the need for psychiatric consultants to prevent repeated suicide attempts effectively in the same conditions.
