[Suicide by guillotine].
The authors describe the suicide of an 21 year old man, who executed himself with a self-constructed "guillotine". In spite of his serious neck wound he was able to deliver himself from the guillotine. He died due to severe haemorrhage from the right carotid artery damaged by the cut.
