| Abstract (English): |
When a death occurs under traumatic, ambiguous, unknown, or uncertain circumstances, a death of suicidal origin can be considered. On many occasions, a suicide note is found next to body that helps to clarify certain aspects needed for the investigation to elucidate whether the death is really due to suicide or other causes. There are several types of suicide note (farewell, instructions, accusation of others, request for forgiveness, justification of one's own suicide) that can contribute to the study of the victim's psychological state and the circumstances that led to death. There is no unanimously approved way to conduct the psychological autopsy, but there are protocols for obtaining relevant information and preparing the report. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): |
Cuando se produce una muerte en circunstancias traumáticas, ambiguas, desconocidas o inciertas, cabe pensar en una muerte con etiología suicida. En muchas ocasiones, junto al cuerpo aparece una nota suicida que ayuda a aclarar algunos aspectos necesarios para la investigación que dilucide si realmente se trata de una muerte por suicidio o por otras causas. Hay varios tipos de nota suicida (despedida, instrucciones, acusación a otros, petición de perdón, justificación del propio suicidio) que pueden contribuir al estudio del estado psicológico de la persona y las circunstancias que condujeron a la muerte. No hay un modelo unánimemente aprobado para llevar a cabo la Autopsia Psicológica pero sí protocolos para obtener la información relevante y realizer el informe correspondiente.
