Suicide by tapestry needle.

A case of completed suicide committed by a 46-year-old male by inserting a tapestry needle in his heart is described. Scene investigation findings and autopsy examination revealed signs of self-harm efforts as well as punctures at both forearms and the right and left sides of the neck. The deceased caused a penetrating cardiac injury which resulted in cardiac tamponade.
