Planned complex suicide is defined as the combination of more than one method of suicide, previously planned by the victim, to prevent failure of the first method. Herein, we present a case of planned complex suicide, committed by a black powder muzzle loading handgun and hanging. A 39-year-old man was found dead in the bathroom of his flat, hanging by the neck with a huge atypical gunshot entrance in the right temporal region of his head with extensive backspatter. The skin defects, as well as soft tissues in the subcutaneous pocket undermining, were heavily burnt. Along the wound canal were multiple bone fragments, and at the end of the path at the left temple was an embedded lead ogival projectile with a cross shaped artificial incision at its tip. The hanging was incomplete. There were no fractures of the hyoid bone and laryngeal cartilages. Cervical muscles and vessels were intact. Simon's sign was negative. Signs of asphyxia were not present. This is the first reported case of complex suicide with a black powder derringer and manipulated projectile.
有计划的复杂自杀被定义为受害者预先计划使用不止一种自杀方法，以防止第一种方法失败。在此，我们报告一例使用前装式黑火药手枪和上吊实施有计划的复杂自杀的案例。一名39岁男子被发现死于其公寓的浴室，颈部被绳索勒挂，头部右侧颞区有一个巨大的非典型枪伤入口，并有大量逆向飞溅物。皮肤缺损以及皮下袋状软组织遭到严重烧灼。沿伤口通道有多个骨碎片，在左颞部伤口末端有一枚嵌入的铅质卵形弹头，其尖端有一个十字形人工切口。上吊并不完全。舌骨和喉软骨无骨折。颈部肌肉和血管完好。西蒙氏征阴性。无窒息迹象。这是首例报告的使用黑火药单发手枪和特制弹头的复杂自杀案例。
