Abstract
A fatal case of electrocution occurring during autoerotic practice is described. A plausible reconstruction of the accident involves attachm ent of one electrode to the anus and accidental touching of the other electrode with hand and chest when attempting to attach it to the peni s. Death was caused by myocardial fibrillation. Both cable and pornogr aphic literature were obviously hidden by the parents of the deceased to conceal the actual cause of death. The accident is compared to case s found in the literature.
