On August 2, 2025, a young woman suspicious death in a residential house in Lavasan
was reported to the emergency police center 110. According to Rokna, in preliminary
investigations, the deceased woman’s family claimed that she died from a blow to the
head.
The mysterious death has once again raised alarm over concealed murders disguised
as “suicide” or “domestic accidents.” Media reports indicate that while the family insists
the death resulted from head trauma, the claim itself raises serious doubts. Suicide by
direct blunt force trauma to the skull is not only rare from a medical standpoint, but also
difficult to accept from psychological and criminological perspectives—unless it occurred
through specific means, such as falling from a height or violently hitting a hard object.
Given that the location was a private residence and no reports have been released of a
fall or injury caused by a specific object, the family’s claim of “death by head injury” is
inconsistent with common suicide scenarios. Most suicides occur through hanging,
overdose, or jumping from heights. A direct head trauma occurring at home without
credible witnesses is a highly unusual scenario, which has led to serious consideration
of the possibility of murder.
In this case, the role of forensic experts, identity verification, surveillance footage, and
digital evidence at the scene becomes crucial. It must be determined how the blow was
inflicted, from what angle, and whether there are signs of struggle or resistance.
Furthermore, any history of domestic violence, threats, or family conflict must be
carefully investigated. Such deaths, if left without thorough and independent
examination, risk becoming silent murders hidden behind family silence, tradition, or
social pressure.
Medically, suicide through direct trauma to the head—such as striking oneself with a
hard object or banging the head against a wall or floor—is extremely rare and typically
does not cause fatal injury unless an extraordinary amount of force is involved. Such
circumstances are more common in prisons or extreme psychotic episodes, not in
private homes. Even in cases of falling from a height resulting in head trauma, there are
usually other fractures and physical evidence.
For this reason, whenever a death from head trauma is reported without independent
witnesses or footage of the incident, the possibility of homicide must be taken very
seriously. In many real-life cases, families or spouses attempt to conceal a crime by

presenting it as a suicide. Therefore, no hypothesis should be considered conclusive
without a detailed autopsy, trajectory analysis of the injury, and technical interrogations.
