Autoerotic death is an accident occurring during individual, usually solitary sexual activity in which a device or apparatus used to enhance the sexual stimulation. Although it is a well-known phenomenon described in many forensic medicine reports, cases are rare in Korea because of conservative tradition of the society and embarrassment of the victim 's family members. It may be far more common than realized. We present a case of the autoerotic accident involving a plastic bag asphyxia in a 67-year-old man. The death scene investigation and findings at autopsy will provide police officers and physicians with adequate knowledge about this phenomenon to make an accurate diagnosis.
Key Words : Asphyxia, Death, Autopsy
