| Abstract: | This case report concerns a 50-year-old male who died from exsanguination due to self-inflicted stabbing injuries to the groin and cutting injuries to the neck. He was a medical doctor suffering from depression following treatment for cancer. Postmortem examination revealed that stab injuries in the groin were directly over the femoral arteries where the femoral pulse is clinically palpated. The injury pattern of this suicidal stabbing is uncommon and the medical knowledge of this person may have well contributed to the choice of the site. |
