Abstract
We present the case of a 39-year-old male who died with three significant a
nd separate shotgun wounds. During the investigation, ene possibility of mu
rder was considered, but reconstruction of the case and post-mortem finding
s led to a coronial conclusion that the death was a suicide, accounted for
by the type of weapon used and the stamina of the deceased.
