A man with indications of autoerotic manipulations was found dead in his flat and a homicide had to be excluded. Diverse material found in the flat suggested that the man was a consumer of cocaine. But the analyses of blood, urine and organs showed high concentrations of amphetamine and it was thought about an unintentionally mix-up with cocaine. A hair analysis was made and only amphetamine was detected. Therefore the utensils (mirror, razor-blade and sniff-pipe) belong to a rare nasal consumption of amphetamine.
