Intramuscular Injection of “Site Enhancement Oil”: Forensic Considerations

Publikation: Bidrag til tidsskriftTidsskriftartikelForskningfagfællebedømt

The use of intramuscular injection of foreign substances for aesthetic purposes is well known. Complications are usually local to the site of injection but can be potentially lethal. Here, we present a case of "site enhancement oil" use in a 42-year-old man who died from asphyxia due to hanging. Macroscopic and microscopic changes as well as computed tomographic changes in injected musculature are described and the potentially lethal adverse effects after site enhancement oil use are warranted.
