ObjectivesA rare case of a suicidal use of gases from the car exhaust system of the car petrol engine in an open space is presented.Clinical Presentation And InterventionTo verify suicidal intent of poisoning, an experimental reconstruction of the crime scene was performed. This demonstrated that appropriately long exposure to carbon monoxide with unfavorable weather conditions can cause acute carbon monoxide poisoning in an open space.ConclusionsThis case was studied to observe the pattern of fatal carbon monoxide poisoning in an open space. This might be helpful for forensic medicine, emergency medicine, and occupational medicine.© 2019 The Author(s) Published by S. Karger AG, Basel.
