Abstract
Eleven suicides in which the victim took his or her life while looking into a mirror are presented. The psychoanalytic implications of this extreme form of narcissism are discussed. Investigators should have a high index of suspicion of suicide in cases where a dead body is positioned in front of or near a mirror.Keywords
