Abstract

It is difficult to pinpoint the manner of death in cases of death due to sharp force injuries where injury patterns resemble one another. Other issues that might arise include physical mobility and survival time after injury. Within the scope of this case, a 53-year-old male suicide with findings suggestive of homicide is presented, along with research on the nature of sharp neck injuries, survival time, and movement after injury. Thanks to the surveillance camera video that captured a significant portion of the occurrence, it was determined that the incident in the case that was presented, which had two perforations of the larynx, was suicide. At first appearance, this case could be assumed to be homicidal. Due to the injury, the victim could only walk around 300–350 m. The victim had a 4-h average survival time. In general terms, the survival time according to the injury sites in the neck can be listed for a person (if the wound sizes are close to each other) as follows: injury causing vagal stimulation < arterial injury with severe blood loss < venous injury with blood loss < airway injury causing aspiration and respiratory failure.
喉部两刀穿透、存活时间和身体活动能力:一个自杀案例和文献综述
在锐器伤致死的案件中,很难确定死亡方式,因为伤害模式彼此相似。可能出现的其他问题包括身体活动能力和受伤后的存活时间。在本案例的范围内,介绍了一名 53 岁男性自杀的情况,其结论提示为他杀,同时还介绍了有关颈部锐器伤的性质、存活时间和伤后活动能力的研究。由于监控录像捕捉到了事件发生的大部分过程,因此可以确定本案例中的两处喉部穿孔事件为自杀。乍一看,这起案件可能被认为是他杀。由于受伤,受害者只能行走 300-350 米左右。一般来说,根据颈部受伤部位的不同,一个人的存活时间(如果伤口大小相近)可按以下顺序排列:造成迷走神经刺激的损伤 < 严重失血的动脉损伤 < 失血的静脉损伤 < 造成吸入和呼吸衰竭的气道损伤。
