Abstract
Suicide by means of an electric power drill with dual penetration of the anterior aspect of the thorax is described. Cause of death was a perforating injury of the heart with pericardial tamponade, combined with bleeding into the thoracic cavity caused by a perforation of the left lung. Psychiatric background revealed a long-term depression, in part with psychotic symptoms.Entities:
