We report here a forced double suicide by fire. Two burned bodies discovered in the debris of a house fire were identified as a father and his son by odontological findings. In the father, the concentration of carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb) in the left ventricle was over 90% and endrin, an organochlorine pesticide, was also detected in the stomach contents. However, 30.5% of CO-Hb in left ventricular blood and gasoline traces from an intratracheal puncture were detected in the son who had been undergoing treatment at a neuropsychiatric clinic. From these results, we determined this case to be a double suicide forced by the father in which the father set a fire with gasoline, thus burning his son to death, and then died in the fire himself after ingestion of Endrin. This case suggests the importance of integration of the results from the detailed forensic pathological and toxicological examinations and the scene investigation.
我们在此报告一起强迫性的双人自焚事件。在一场房屋火灾的废墟中发现的两具烧焦尸体，经牙科学鉴定确认为一名父亲和他的儿子。父亲左心室中的碳氧血红蛋白（CO-Hb）浓度超过90%，胃内容物中还检测出有机氯农药异狄氏剂。然而，在一家神经精神科诊所接受治疗的儿子的左心室血液中，检测到30.5%的CO-Hb以及气管穿刺处的汽油痕迹。根据这些结果，我们判定此案为父亲强迫的双人自杀事件，父亲用汽油纵火将儿子烧死，然后自己在摄入异狄氏剂后死于火灾。该案例表明了详细的法医病理学和毒理学检查结果与现场勘查结果相结合的重要性。
