Abstract:
An unusual case of suicide using an angle grinder is presented. A forensic examination of the corpse revealed an injury to the soft tissues of the neck with a complete transverse intersection of the neurovascular bundles, organs of the neck and cervical spine caused by a rotating disc of an angle grinder. This observation supplements the existing ideas about the possibility of using power tools for various purposes with suicidal purposes.
