  • Title: Neck injury patterns resulting from the use of petrol and electric chainsaws in suicides. Report on two cases.
    Author: Moreschi C, Da Broi U, Cividino S, Gubiani R, Pergher G.
    Journal: J Forensic Leg Med; 2014 Jul; 25():14-20. PubMed ID: 24931855.
    Abstract:
    Suicides due to neck injuries caused by chainsaws are uncommon events. The cutting elements of petrol and electric chainsaws produce different features in lethal neck injuries. The accurate evaluation of the death scene, of the power and mechanical characteristics of the chainsaw and of wound morphology are all essential in distinguishing a case of suicide.
