Abstract
We report the case of 44-year-old man who committed suicide using mult iple crossbow arrows. The first arrow that he fired went between the l eft eye and nose and passed into a frontal lobe of the brain with no e xit wound. He fired a second arrow that entered the palate and went th rough the brain but did not exit the skull. To the best of our knowled ge, no cases of suicide using multiple crossbow arrows have previously been reported.
