Suicides or suicide attempts with power saws (band, circular or chain saws) are rather rare events and only a few case reports exist in the forensic literature. The use of a band saw, in particular, has been extremely rare in cases of suicide. We report two cases of suicide that occurred in the same suburban area, three years apart. In each case, the victim was a carpenter and had a history of psychiatric disorder and/or of prior suicide attempts. We summarize the findings of the death scene investigations, the pertinent autopsy findings, and also summarize the world literature pertaining to suicide committed with power saws.
使用电锯（带锯、圆锯或链锯）自杀或自杀未遂是相当罕见的事件，法医文献中仅有少数病例报告。特别是带锯在自杀案例中的使用极为罕见。我们报告两起发生在同一郊区、相隔三年的自杀案例。每起案例的受害者均为木匠，且有精神疾病史和/或曾有过自杀未遂经历。我们总结了死亡现场调查结果、相关尸检结果，并汇总了世界范围内有关使用电锯自杀的文献。
