Abstract

Nitrogen is physiologically an inert, nontoxic gas, not involved in human metabolism. It may displace oxygen from the inhaled air causing a life-threatening condition. Homicide by use of Nitrogen is a very rare case. We report on the analysis of a homicide of a 28-year-old female killed by her fiancé with 100% nitrogen gas as confessed by him before the police.
