Letter regarding Ledinek et al.'s "Death from exsanguination due to power drill injuries in a complex suicide".

This letter discusses a case of complex suicide involving a power drill and self-immolation. The authors describe the injuries sustained by a 61-year-old male, including burns, a drilled hole in the forehead, and drilled wounds on the chest and abdomen. The autopsy revealed that the man likely died from burns and smoke asphyxiation, with the penetrating intracranial wound from the power drill serving as a contributory factor. The authors note that suicides involving power-driven tools are uncommon, and the appearance of drill injuries can vary depending on various factors. The case also highlights the use of multiple methods in complex suicides and the potential for misinterpretation of injuries. [Extracted from the article]
