Abstract
Evidence of the frequent use of mainline and metropolitan trains as a means of suicide in and around Milan prompted the authors to analyse the occurance of this event between 1993 and 2008 in Milan, examining data from the Institute of Legal Medicine. The 155 selected cases were analysed for various aspects, including the chronology and dynamics of event, the personal, epidemiological and psychiatrical profile of the victims and the features of the injuries found during autopsy.Pubblicazioni consigliate
