A 31-year-old man was found dead in the sea. The victim had blunt force injuries including multiple rib fractures and traumatic rupture of internal organs. It was suspected that the drowning body was thrown into the sea after being killed. However, police officers found the victim's car on a 30 meters-height bridge over the sea. His shoes and clothes were well arranged in the car. He had some bad debt losses. The case was closed as a suicidal fall into the sea. To determine the appropriate manner of death, adequate background and scene investigations as well as autopsy findings should be required.
Key Words : Drowning, Blunt injury, High fall, Suicide
