17. Could synovial fluid be a useful substrate for the forensic analysis of diatoms?

Abstract

To date, synovial fluid has not been the subject of targeted analysis as a possible substrate to search for the presence of diatoms in the forensic context of drowning. However, its unique characteristics of production and isolation from the external environment could make it suitable for this purpose, similar to what has already been demonstrated in the literature for vitreous humor. By considering this, synovial fluid was analyzed in a specific case that came to our attention, where the coexisting signs of polytrauma and drowning were documented during autopsy, demonstrating a period of vitality during immersion. After a thin smear of the supernatant was obtained from the centrifugation of the synovial fluid sample, diatoms were successfully detected, consistent with those found in other organs and the water of the canal. The detection of diatoms in the synovial fluid was an objective finding, but its generalizability is limited because this was a pilot application. However, in cases where death by drowning is suspected and the body has multiple areas breached by trauma, the technique of analyzing diatoms in the synovial fluid could have great potential. Therefore, it is appropriate to further explore this technique in order to obtain more forensic evidence in such a setting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

A suicide where the deceased has employed more than one means of ending his or her life is defined as a complex suicide (CS). Forensic practitioners may face difficulties caused by the articulated mechanisms underlying this event. Among CS, the combination of hanging and gunshots is unusual. In this study, we present three unique cases of such planned complex suicides (PCS) that we have encountered in our 28 years of activity at the Bureau of Legal Medicine of Milan. Careful inspection of the death scene, precise analysis of the anamnestic-circumstantial data, and accurate medico-legal autopsy examination were the starting points for a better understanding of the causes and manner of death. In particular, the presence of vital reactions of tissues involved in the two different means used, the coherence of the areas involved with a self-inflicted wound, and the absence of signs of third party intervention allowed us to classify these events as suicides. As for the chronology of events, the lethality of the cerebral lesions caused by the gunshots in all cases, in accordance with the cervical lesions caused by hanging, led us to conclude that we were dealing with PCS and catalogue these three cases as unusually planned complex suicides avoiding incorrect and superficial classification.

Abstract

Background: Suicide methods chosen by victims are particularly critical in suicide risk research. To differentiate suicide deaths, it is usual to categorize them as violent and nonviolent depending on the detrimental method chosen by the victims. Caustic ingestion, for example, is traditionally considered as a nonviolent suicide method. It results in severe consequences for the human body and it is associated with high levels of lethality. Methods: In this study, we retrospectively analyzed suicides that occurred between 1993 and 2021 in Milan (Italy) and that underwent autopsy. We compared a sample of 40 victims that ingested caustic substances with a sample of 460 victims of other chemical ingestion, and a sample of 3962 victims from violent suicide. Univariate analyses and univariate logistic regression models were performed. Suicides from caustic poisoning were significantly older, had a higher mean number of diseases and were more affected by psychiatric diseases compared to other chemical ingestion victims. By contrast, caustic suicides, compared to violent suicides, had a more balanced gender ratio, a higher mean number of diseases, were more affected by psychiatric diseases, had a higher rate of complex suicides (more than one modality), and had victims who died more frequently inside instead of outside. In logistic regression models, age was the only feature differentiating caustic from other chemical ingestion suicides while the features differentiating caustic from violent suicides were gender, mean number of diseases and suicide place. Conclusions: Suicides by caustic ingestion showed substantial differences compared to violent suicides, with a higher severe profile. However, some differences were reported comparing caustic ingestion to other chemical ingestion as well. Thus, we argue whether it is more appropriate to differentiate the suicidal ingestion of caustics from both violent and nonviolent suicide methods.
