“…Several studies pointed out the rarity of suicides by explosive devices unconnected to terrorism. 19,20 Killias 21,22 reported overall rates of killings (homicide or suicide) with explosive, and except Northern Ireland with extremely high rates (three to four times that of the rest of Europe), killings by explosive make less than 2% of suicides or homicides, respectively.

“…Çalışmamızda kullanılan havai fişek türüne benzer bir fişeğin konu olduğu, 29 yaşında bir erkek şahsın ölüm olayına ilişkin bir olgu sunumunda; olay yeri incelemesi sırasında başlangıçta şahsın ağzında gözlemlenen ağır hasar nedeniyle ateşli silah yaralanması nedeniyle öl-düğünün değerlendirildiği, yapılan detaylı araştırmada tespit edilen bulgular ile şahsın fişeği ağzında patlatarak intihar etmesi nedeniyle öldüğü bildirilmiştir (24). Anılan olguda bildirilen, ağız içinde meydana gelen basınç deği-şikliğinin ölüme yol açması sonucu dikkate alındığında, çalışmamızda ölçülen minimum 57,83 kPa, maksimum 113,85 kPa olmak üzere ortalama 89,10 kPa (SD:16,62) patlama basıncının ağız içinde benzer şekilde hasara, organ ampütasyonları ve hatta ölüme yol açabileceği değer-lendirilmiştir.…”
