Cureus, Icy Intrigue: A Case Report of an Unusual Encounter With an Ice Pick Injury

An ice pick is rarely observed as a weapon of offense in homicide or suicide. The severity of injuries produced by an ice pick ranges from circular contused abrasions to punctured wounds with clean-cut margins. We present a case of a self-inflicted ice pick injury to the chest autopsied at the AIIMS Rishikesh morgue. During this study, we noticed and analyzed the unusual presentation of injury by an ice pick, contrary to the injuries generally observed in ice pick cases. We highlight a peculiar case of a homicidal ice pick injury observed during the autopsy. The presentation deviated from typical patterns, with the weapon penetrating the victim’s body in an unconventional manner. The findings challenge traditional assumptions regarding ice pick injuries and underscore the importance of comprehensive forensic analysis. Understanding and documenting atypical presentations of such injuries can aid forensic experts in accurately determining the cause and manner of death, facilitating the pursuit of justice in criminal investigations.
