Abstract

Suicide is an act of self-inflicted, self-intentioned taking of one’s life. The term “complex suicide” refers to suicides in which more than one method is employed to commit suicide. A dead body of a 34 year old female was brought to mortuary of Government Medical College Hospital Miraj for postmortem examination. She was married since 10 yrs. Ligature mark was present around neck with knot impression at left sub-mandibular area. Presence of multiple injuries raises suspicion of foul play. Therefore, differentiation has to be made whether the given case is suicide or homicide. Careful postmortem examination and thorough investigation of scene of crime is necessary to arrive at a proper conclusion.
