Abstract
|
|
|
Autoerotic death is an accident occurring during individual, usually solitary sexual activity in which a device or apparatus used to enhance the sexual stimulation. Although it is a well-known phenomenon described in many forensic medicine reports, cases are rare in Korea because of conservative tradition of the society and embarrassment of the victim ¡¯s family members. It may be far more common than realized. We present a case of the autoerotic accident involving a plastic bag asphyxia in a 67-year-old man. The death scene investigation and findings at autopsy will provide police officers and physicians with adequate knowledge about this phenomenon to make an accurate diagnosis.
