dc.description.abstractSuicides are more likely to occur during periods of socioeconomic, family and individual crisis. A suicide pact is an agreement between two people to end their lives. Most suicides are solitary and private; but few results from a pact between 2 people to die together. It is predominantly made by male-female partners and by less violent methods. Suicide pact between people of the same gender is an unusual event. We discussed a case of a suicide pact where a 19-year-old male and a 20-year-old male who were friends committed suicide by hanging because of drug addiction and poverty. Two young adult male made a pact to commit suicide by hanging themselves from a ceiling hook. It is unique case in this regard. Suicide pact is also very interesting from the perspective of medical examiners. They need to make comprehensive postmortem examination to finally conclude the proper cause and the manner of death.en_US
