Rare case of swallowing foreign bodies
Foreign bodies in the gastrointestinal tract are quite rare in forensic practice. In the literature we found a relatively small number of such cases. For example, M.I. Avdeev describes a combined suicide in which a suicide victim stabbed himself in the neck and inserted a 35 cm long wooden stick into the esophagus. The stick caused a perforation of the esophagus in its lower part, resulting in purulent mediastinitis, which resulted in death. Diatroptov cites a case of swallowing a knife 28 cm long and 3.5 cm wide. The knife injured not only the esophagus but also the apex of the right lung. Ingestion of foreign bodies is also described by F. Arkhangelsky and S. Krushevsky.
