We report a Case of a medical professional, with a very good knowledge of emergency medical devices, who committed suicide using defibrillator pads to electrocute. The decedent attached the defibrillator pads in the standard position on his chest and manually connected the terminals to an extension cord through an additional switching device. When he switched on the device, electricity passed through his heart. The autopsy showed attached defibrillator pads and severe skin burns beneath it. Scene findings were consistent with suicide. The cause of death was electrocution and manner of death was suicide. Suicide by electrocution is uncommon and suicide by electrocution using defibrillator pads has not been reported in English literature.
我们报告了一起案例，涉及一名对急救医疗设备有深入了解的医疗专业人员，他使用除颤器电极片电击自己后自杀。死者将除颤器电极片按标准位置贴在胸前，并通过一个附加的开关装置将电极片的末端手动连接到延长线上。当他打开设备时，电流穿过他的心脏。尸检显示电极片贴附在身上，下面有严重的皮肤烧伤。现场发现与自杀一致。死亡原因是电击，死亡方式是自杀。电击自杀并不常见，使用除颤器电极片电击自杀在英文文献中也没有报道过。
