“…Usually, in planned complex suicide cases people most commonly choose lesser lethal methods initially, failure of which he will adopt the more lethal one. 25 The choice of a brutal method clearly tells that it is probably not a planned complex suicide. He adopted it because of frustration, deep anger and grief probably to punish him not able to give justice to wife and son.…”

Genital Self-Mutilation (GSM) is usually associated with mental illness. It is considered as the most brutal form of self-harm. Many cases of such self-harm have been described by various authors in different times. However, its existence in absence of any mental illness and using it as a method of suicide is a matter of question. Although, some cases are reported; its incidence is very low. Its association with complex suicide is even much lower. Usually, in complex suicide, the victim chooses some methods which are less painful. Such a complicated case of complex suicide was brought to the tertiary care center of Dibrugarh, Assam for post mortem examination. The deceased, a 36 years old male was brought with history of cutting his external genitalia followed by hanging. The case has been described in this paper with relevant review literature.

Fatality rate of suicide attempt depends on aim, preparation of the selected method, knowledge of the individual about the selected suicide method, his/her expectations, and sometimes other factors like intervention of other people [2,3]. Main serious suicide attempt types are using dangerous drugs, organic phosphorus, corrosive materials, hanging, firearms, jumping, and sharp objects [4].…”

Suicide is defined as using more than one method to induce death. Suicides are divided into simple and complex cases. A complex suicide is defined as the use of more than one method to induce death. The planning of several methods for inducing death further permits the classification of suicide into planned and unplanned. In planned type, two or more methods are applied simultaneously to make sure that death will occur. In unplanned type, a second method is just used if the first method is unsuccessful or painful. Less fatal methods like poisoning or cutting is combined with a second method which is usually more lethal like shooting, falling from a height, burning, or hanging. Here, we present a complex suicide case who is living despite using three suicide methods consecutively.

ÖzetSiyanür bilinen en hızlı etkili toksik maddelerden birisidir. İntihar girişimi, yaşam ile ölüm arasında ölümü tercih etmeye yönelik eylemdir. Psikolojik otopsi ise bireylerin neden intihara yöneldiğini açıklamak, motivasyonlarını anlamak ve ölümleri hakkında değerlendirme amacıyla uygulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada; hastane arşiv odasında ölü olarak bulunan 52 yaşındaki bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur. Olay yerinden alınan sıvıda yapılan toksikolojik incelemede siyanür bulundu. Otopside trakea ve ana bronşlarda yaygın köpüklü ödem sıvısı, akciğerlerde konjesyon ve ödem, mide mukozasında yoğun kanama ve eroziv görünüm izlendi ve toksikolojik incelemede kanda ve mide içeriğinde siyanür tespit edildi. Yapılan psikolojik otopsi sırasında olgunun geçmişte maddi sıkıntılar nedeniyle silahla özkıyım girişiminde bulunduğu, babası ve kardeşleriyle arasının iyi olmadığı ve maddi konularda anlaşamadıkları için görüşmedikleri, kendi ve eşinin ailesinden birçok kişiden para aldığı, son olarak kardeşlerinin annelerine ait kartı aldığı öğrenildi. Sonuç olarak; siyanür zehirlenmesi tanısı koyarken, olay yeri inceleme bulguları, otopsi bulguları ve toksikolojik veriler birlikte değerlendirilmelidir. Ek olarak, intihar ettiği düşünülen bireylerin psikolojisi değerlendirilmeli ve psikolojik otopsileri yapılmalıdır.
