Abstract:
Suicide by drowning in the bath is rare. Because it implies to drown in a small volume of water, adult victims are often under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. More rarely, the use of weights is seen to induce drowning. Here is the case of a 62-year-old woman found dead in the bath. Her feet were tied and elevated by a rope attached to the shower head and a hammer was taped to her forehead. This very unique suicide is reported along with review of the literature on suicide in the bath.
