- Abstract
The article discusses a case study of a 92 year old man who was found dead in his bathroom. A skewer was found protruding from his left chest wall and his son revealed that he tried to commit suicide earlier. A computed tomographic (CT) examination was performed before autopsy. Autopsy reported that death was not caused due to hemorrhage. The article informs that a small instrument can cause lethal injury.
