ABSTRACT
Suicide is a human problem that has existed since the very origin of man, it has happened at all times, and has affected both genders and different social classes; its characteristics vary according to culture and socio-economic structure. The use of edged weapons as a suicide method is relatively uncommon in the medical-legal field, that is why this type of case is poorly studied, because sometimes poses various difficulties when differentiating it from wounds produced in a homicidal manner. We present an individual who died after self-inflicted piercing-cutting abdominal stab wounds, which constitutes an uncommon method of suicide in the Cuban context.REFERENCES
