  • Title: [Lethal intoxication while driving a car].
    Author: Frank M, Philipp KP, Matthes G, Bockholdt B, Ekkernkamp A.
    Journal: Arch Kriminol; 2009; 224(1-2):10-6. PubMed ID: 19746824.
    Abstract:
    This report concerns a passenger car crash, which at first looked like a case of multiple trauma resulting in the death of the pinned-in driver. Conspicuous was a cuff that had been applied to the left forearm. No significant injuries could be determined during the autopsy of the corpse. The forensic toxicology results showed lethal toxic concentrations of the painkiller pethidine, which suggests that the driver had applied a lethal dose of the medication immediately before the collision as part of a complex suicide.
