title: Fabricated homicides in Israel in light of the Intifada.
abstract: Fabrication of circumstances surrounding fatal events is not uncommon in forensic medicine. Reasons for this may include financial gain, shame and guilt. The use of a specific sociopolitical phenomenon as a fabricated scenario for lucrative purposes is reported. The importance of thorough scene of crime investigation and documentation, as well as a meticulous autopsy in order to determine the manner of death is emphasized.
