In autopsy practice, we encounter case of
suicide or murder using various methods or tools. Damage caused by tools such
as a knife or hammer is commonly encountered, but a case of damage using a
chainsaw is not commonly encountered. We present an autopsy case of a suicide
due to neck injury using a chainsaw. A 56-year-old man was found dead with a
neck injury and a chainsaw below him. Soft tissue of the neck, thyroid
cartilage, trachea, carotid vessels, cervical vertebrae, and cervical spinal
cord were found to be cleaved, and a cogwheel-shaped pattern was observed in
the injured area.
