AIR IN VEINS (basically just a myth)
* Time: Couple of minutes claimed
* Available: Plenty of air about... Need a hypodermic & syringe
* Certainty: only 1 known case.. patient may already have been dead
* Notes: The only case I know about, it killed with 40cc of air.
Smaller amounts are harmless. The case was the death of Abbie
Borroto, who died in 1950 from a 40cc injection in New Hampshire.
She died in minutes. This was the 1949 Dr H Sander case. He was
found not guilty to murder on the grounds that the patient may
already have been dead when he gave the injection. (A doctor and a
nurse could find no pulse earlier the same day).
* The following 2 quotes are from [1]: Prof. Y Kenis says:
"... not a suitable method, nor a gentle death... extremely
difficult to utilize as a method of suicide. .. possibly with very
serious consequences, such as paralysis or permanent brain damage.
.. this is only an impression, and I have no real scientific
information on the subject."
Dr Pieter V Admiraal .. describes the theoretical air bubble
method of suicide as impossible, disagreeable and cruel.
"To kill somebody with air you would have to inject at least 100 ->
200 millilitres as quickly as possible in a vein as big as possible
close to the heart. You would have to fill the whole heart with air
at once. The heart would probably beat on for several minutes,
perhaps 5 -> 15 minutes, and during the first minutes the person
may be conscious."
Så det ser ikke ut som om den metoden fungerer fort, vil ikke noen uansett reagere når de blir stukket med en lang nål?
