Abstract

Smothering is a forensic trap because it leaves few or minor injuries on autopsy finding. Manners of death upon smothering are variable, but it is not commonly occurred in homicide unless the victims are very young, very old, debilitated, or incapacitated by restraints, disease or drugs. Here we report a very unique and impressive case of smothering using hot steam towel with distinct scalding mark on victim’s face.
