Abstract
Suicide is one of the major public health problems worldwide. Ingestion of the drugs is commonly used for suicide; however, injection of chemicals is a rare method (Güz et al., 2010). Especially, thinner injection is an unusual method and is used for suicide in a few cases. Thinner is one of the abused inhalants which are formed by toluene, ethyl acetate, and isobutanol, and are widely used in industry (Carabez-T et al., 1998). These toxic agents are usually taken in through inhalation. This report aims to inform about an unusual case attempted suicide by thinner injection into left subcutaneous tissue of neck.
