abstract="A 52-year-old part-time farmer was found hanged in the barn next to his house. He was hanging in a slip-knot fixed to a beam of the roof without contact to the floor. In the parietal region, which was covered by thick hair, there was a sharply defined wound with minor powder soot blackening of the surrounding skin. The head injury had been caused by a slaughterer's gun (Kerner type) found on the floor of the barn near the hanged man. The shot to the head was associated with secondary skull fractures of the bony skull base - A phenomenon rarely reported in context with captive-bolt guns. Another finding associated with the hanging was a retroperitoneal, obviously tension-related blood extravasation around the left ureter, which has never been reported in connection with suspensions so far. © 2018 Verlag Schmidt-Romhild.
