Autoerotic fatalities refer to a death resulting from the participation in a sex-related activity designed to heighten sexual arousal. The overwhelming majority of these deaths are due to asphyxia, most often by hanging or ligature compression of the neck. Here we report a case of "atypical" autoerotic fatality in which death was not induced by ligature compression. Unusual death of a 24-year-old man, involving propane inhalation and plastic bag suffocation, is described. The special characteristics of propane gas as an asphyxiant agent are discussed, as well as its effect on the human body.
性窒息死亡是指因参与旨在增强性唤起的性相关活动而导致的死亡。这些死亡绝大多数是由于窒息，最常见的是通过上吊或颈部勒压。在此，我们报告一例“非典型”性窒息死亡案例，其中死亡并非由勒压所致。描述了一名24岁男子的离奇死亡，涉及丙烷吸入和塑料袋窒息。讨论了丙烷气体作为窒息剂的特殊特性及其对人体的影响。
