"Suicide notes" are the notes, where the victim has documented the intention to terminate one's own life. The victim generally writes them on a paper, notebook, wall, or mirror by means of pen or marker. However, suicide notes written on one's own body are very rare, and suicide note engraved by some metallic objects over body has not yet reported. We present two cases where the victim had used some metallic objects to write a message on the body. These may be termed "engraved suicide notes." We believe these to be the first reported cases where a metallic object was used for engraving the last notes on the body before committing suicide.
“自杀遗书”是受害者记录其结束自己生命意图的文字记录。受害者通常用钢笔或记号笔写在纸张、笔记本、墙壁或镜子上。然而，写在自己身体上的自杀遗书非常罕见，且尚未有关于用金属物体在身体上刻写自杀遗书的报道。我们呈现两例受害者用金属物体在身体上书写遗言的案例。这些可被称作“刻写的自杀遗书”。我们认为这是首例关于在自杀前用金属物体在身体上刻写遗言的报道案例。
