A 67-year-old woman committed suicide by smothering her head tightly in gummed tape. When the body was found, a putrefactive greenish discoloration had spread across the neck, chest and abdomen; but the face was spared. The pale face and the greenish trunk caused a striking contrast. This distribution pattern of discoloration was produced by the gummed tape, which smothered the head and prevented the formation of sulfhemoglobin by blocking entry of ambient oxygen into the skin.
一名67岁女性用胶带紧紧缠住头部窒息自杀。尸体被发现时，颈部、胸部和腹部已出现腐败性的绿色变色；但脸部未受影响。苍白的脸部与绿色的躯干形成了鲜明对比。这种变色分布模式是由胶带造成的，胶带缠住头部，通过阻止周围氧气进入皮肤，防止了硫血红蛋白的形成。
