Abstract

Suicide is one of the leading causes of death and remains a major global public health issue. Although suicide by sharp force is relatively uncommon, it has distinctive forensic characteristics and a high fatality rate. This study aims to describe the incidence and characteristics of suicide cases caused by sharp force injuries handled by Bhayangkara Tk.1 Pusdokkes Polri Hospital during the last five years and to analyze the phenomenon from an Islamic perspective. This was a descriptive retrospective study using secondary data obtained from medical records and forensic autopsy reports at Bhayangkara Tk.1 Pusdokkes Polri Hospital between 2020 and 2024. The analyzed variables included gender, age, religion, occupation, place of incident, type of weapon used, wound characteristics, cause of death, and mechanism of death. Data were presented in frequency distributions and analyzed descriptively. A total of five suicide cases by sharp force were recorded during the study period. All victims were male, with a mean age of 32.4 years, and most were Muslims. The majority were private employees or students. The most commonly used weapon was a knife, and the incidents predominantly occurred at home. Fatal wounds were mostly located on the neck, with clean-cut edges. Internal examination revealed injuries to vital organs such as the lungs, heart, and liver. The primary cause of death was sharp force injury to major blood vessels or vital organs, with the dominant mechanism being hypovolemic shock due to massive hemorrhage.

Abstract

Background: Suicide is a major global public health concern, with its incidence continuing to rise each year. Hanging remains one of the most frequently used methods, including in Indonesia. Forensic examination is crucial for identifying victim characteristics, determining causes and mechanisms of death, supporting legal processes, and contributing to prevention strategies. Objective: The objective of this study is to obtain a comprehensive picture of the characteristics of victims, the instruments used, the cause and mechanism of death, case management efforts, and an Islamic perspective on suicide cases by hanging. Methods: This study used a descriptive method with a cross-sectional design and a qualitative approach. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records of suicide victims by hanging examined at the Forensic Medicine Department of Bhayangkara Hospital Tk. 1 Pusdokkes Polri from 2020 to 2024. The analyzed variables included age, sex, wound characteristics, instruments used, and causes and mechanisms of death. The majority of victims were male and belonged to the productive age group, with rope being the most commonly used ligature. Results: Although several cases lacked detailed information on the mechanism of death, available data indicated that asphyxia due to neck compression was the primary cause. These findings align with forensic theory, which states that death in hanging cases typically results from obstruction of air and blood flow caused by pressure on neck structures. Conclusion: Overall, suicide by hanging predominantly involves males of productive age, with asphyxia being the leading mechanism of death.
