title: [An unusual case of a double casualty during sexual intercourse].
abstract: Sudden death during sexual activity is generally caused by natural diseases, like coronary sclerosis and myocardial infarction. Only a few case reports describe outer circumstances as responsible for the fatal outcome. This is a case report of a couple that drowned within a car sinking into a river. The extraordinary scenery led to the supposition that sexual intercourse was involved with these fatalities. The victims--a young woman and a young man, both had children, the man was married--kept up an extramarital liaison. Both were reported missing by their relatives days before the corpses could be recovered.
