[Suicide in pregnancy].
The difficulty in establishing the cause of death of a pregnant woman emphasizes the necessity for the careful gathering of evidence. Especially in the case of motor accidents along lonely stretches of road involving a solitary motorist the possibility of suicide should be taken into consideration. Since a televised suicide had apparently served as model for the method of suicide, mention has been made of the "Werther effect". A literature review reveals that little has been written on the subject-suicide during pregnancy.
