In this report, the authors present a case of suicide committed by a 66-year-old man, inside a grave at the local cemetery, with two gunshot wounds to the head. A multiple-paged, handwritten suicide note was found in an army type bag inside the victim's car, while a second one was found in his house. Medicolegal examination of the body revealed two typical contact gunshot entrance wounds and one exit wound to the head. Toxicological analysis of the femoral blood was negative for alcohol and drugs. The history, scene and autopsy findings, along with further police investigation, indicated an obvious case of suicide. The literature is reviewed and discussed. We report this case as the place of suicide is extremely uncommon and as there is no mention of a gunshot suicide inside a grave in the current literature.
在本报告中，作者呈现了一例自杀案例，死者为一名66岁男性，在当地公墓的一座坟墓内，头部有两处枪伤。在受害者车内一个军用类型的袋子里发现了一份多页手写的自杀遗书，同时在他家中也发现了一份。尸体的法医检查显示头部有两处典型的接触性枪伤入口和一处出口伤。股动脉血液的毒理学分析显示酒精和药物检测呈阴性。病史、现场情况和尸检结果，以及警方的进一步调查，均表明这是一起明显的自杀案件。对相关文献进行了回顾和讨论。我们报告此案例是因为自杀地点极为罕见，且当前文献中未提及在坟墓内发生枪击自杀的情况。
