RESUMEN
Los pactos suicidas son excepcionales. Presentamos la muerte suicida simultánea de 2 hermanos gemelos monocigóticos de 46 años de edad, por atropello de tren. Ambos gemelos presentaban antecedentes psiquiátricos de tipo ansioso-depresivo que precisaron ingresos hospitalarios involuntarios tras tentativa autolítica, además de trastornos por consumo de alcohol. Los 2 planearon de forma conjunta su muerte «en pareja» y acudieron a las inmediaciones de una estación de ferrocarril para colocarse en el trayecto del tren, de pie, abrazados el uno al otro, hasta la llegada del convoy. El estudio necrópsico demostró las lesiones propias de este tipo de suicidios, y la presencia de unos niveles considerables de etanol en sangre. Se presenta el contexto del caso, el resultado de la autopsia psicológica, la presencia de antecedentes médicos comunes, incluyendo los psiquiátricos, y se revisa la bibliografía existente(AU)
ABSTRACT
Suicide pacts are exceptional cases. We present a simultaneous suicide of two 46 year-old monozygotic twins run over by a train. Both twins experienced psychiatric anxiety-depressive disorders that required involuntary hospitalization after suicidal tentative. Previous alcohol intake was also detected. They both meticulously planned their dyadic death and went near a railway station where they remained in the train trajectory, hugging each other, before the convoy arrived. Necroscopic analysis showed the typical injuries of this type of suicide as well as a considerable presence of ethanol in blood. The context of the case, the result of the psychological autopsy and the presence of coincident medical records-psychiatric ones included-are presented, while current bibliography is revised(AU)
