In the original publication under the heading “Results”, a number of 11 double suicide cases was given. The correct number is 18. In addition to that the correct number of total autopsy cases is 78. The correct paragraph is printed here:

Results

The analysis of the forensic database of the Institute of Legal Medicine in Frankfurt/Main led to 78 autopsy cases. We excluded 18 cases because they were defined as a double suicide, 2 cases were excluded because of indefinability of homicide-suicide or double suicide and 58 cases of homicide-suicide were finally included and analyzed.

We apologize for the mistake.
