  Abstract:  Dealing with such a complex individual and societal issue, forensic pathologists may face numerous ethical challenges which we must find solutions. This case is about a 26 year old woman who suffered from severe anxiety, anguish and distress as well as recurrent panic attacks for a period of one and a half year, subsequently committing suicide by hanging herself in a psychiatric clinic. What makes this case unique are the ethical dilemmas presented herein. Furthermore, the authors point out the consequences of ethical dilemmas as well as possible solutions.

Keywords: suicide, bioethics, principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice.
