A case of suicide by harakiri is described. The position of the subject, the absence of the shirt and the abdominal L-shaped cut agreed well with the formal procedure of harakiri. The characteristics of the stab wounds present on the right-hand side of the neck confirmed the assumption of self-infliction and excluded, from a legal point of view, murder by consent.

Abstract
A case of suicide by harakiri is described. The position of the subject, the absence of the shirt and the abdominal L-shaped cut agreed well with the formal procedure of harakiri. The characteristics of the stab wounds present on the right-hand side of the neck confirmed the assumption of self-infliction and excluded, from a legal point of view, murder by consent.File in questo prodotto:
