Abstract

Drowning is a violent form of asphyxial death and the manner of death may be accidental, suicidal & homicidal. In cases of suicidal drowning medico-legal examination may be very difficult, especially regarding differentiating between suicide, accident or homicide, and natural death. It is more difficult when there is the use of complicated or unusual methods. In the present case scenario, we report the incidence of such an unusual suicidal drowning case which may raise the suspicion of foul play leading to hurdles in the forensic investigation.

Keywords: Drowning, Asphyxia, Accidental, Suicidal, Homicidal
