Hypothermia in a Patient Treated with Antipsychotics

We present a case of 58-year-old female patent with a long-term history of paranoid schizophrenia treated with different antipsychotics. She died with sign and symptoms of hypothermia. Autopsy revealed an ischemic stroke. We could not exclude involvement of antipsychotic medications as culprits.
