While reports of suicide by smothering and strangulation are common, suicide by choking is far more rare. In addition to the act being difficult to carry out, suspected cases are not easily distinguished from accidental or homicidal deaths. Here, we present a case of suicide by choking on toilet paper in a patient with a long history of schizophrenia. The case was ruled a suicide based on the patient having been witnessed in a previous unsuccessful attempt of the same act.
虽然关于窒息和勒死自杀的报道很常见，但噎死自杀却极为罕见。除了实施该行为困难之外，疑似病例也不易与意外死亡或他杀死亡区分开来。在此，我们报告一例有长期精神分裂症病史的患者因卫生纸噎死自杀的病例。该病例被判定为自杀，是基于之前曾目睹患者有过同样行为的未遂尝试。
