Abstract

117 gunshot suicides (111 male and 6 females) were investigated. The head was the most favorite site of the entrance wounds and some extraordinary cases were observed. 7 cases showed more than one gunshot wounds and in two of these suicides the second shot was placed directly in the first wound. Unusual sites of the gunshot wounds were the dorsal part of the neck, the right nostril and the right ear. In one case a gun powder muzzle-loader was loaded with two projectiles and in another suicide the lethal brain damage was caused by the gas pressure due to shot from a blank gun tightly pressed to the right temporal head.
