There were 1,985 fatal cases of CO poisoning in the Tohoku district of Japan in the period from 1969 to 1980. Among them, 1,322 cases were suicidal, 662 accidental, and one homicidal, in which a man killed his wife with the self-made CO gas to obtain by fraud a large amount of life insurance. Our nationwide survey revealed four other cases of homicidal CO poisoning and two cases of camouflaged CO poisoning. The police and police surgeons should be cautious enough in cases of CO poisoning.
1969年至1980年期间，日本东北地区有1985例一氧化碳中毒致死病例。其中，1322例为自杀，662例为意外事故，1例为他杀，一名男子用自制的一氧化碳气体杀死了他的妻子，以骗取巨额人寿保险。我们的全国性调查还发现了另外4例一氧化碳中毒他杀案件和2例伪装成一氧化碳中毒的案件。警方和法医在处理一氧化碳中毒案件时应足够谨慎。
