[Victor Segalen's death: a medical view-point].
Victor Segalen, born in Brest in 1878, naval physician and writer, died in Huelgoat forest, in Brittany. Accident or self-murder? After analysis of his personality, psychic antecedents, events of his death, and evidences of friends, his suicide seems probable. It is possible that Yvonne, his wife, and Hélène Hilpert, a woman-friend, expected this end. The accident was asserted. Comparison with death of his heroes reinforces suicide hypothesis.
