[Plastic bag as the method in suicide and homicide].
The report describes a suicide and a homicide by suffocation in a plastic bag. Both cases were copy-cat acts. The suicide copied the method--taking medicines and pulling a plastic bag over his head from a personal model. In the homicide the perpetrator followed the example of a film sequence from the US feature film "Charade".
