%0 Journal Article %T Cutaneous current marks due to a stun gun injury %J Journal of forensic sciences %D 2003 %A Anders, Sven %A Junge, M. %A Schulz, F. %A Puschel, K. %V 48 %N 3 %P 640-642 %X Histological changes of the skin following electrical injury with a stun gun have rarely been described. We report the case of a 61-year-old man who died after having been tortured with a stun gun during a robbery. At autopsy two reddish, dot-like lesions where found on the chest and histological examination revealed electric current-related changes. Only a few reports concerning micromorphological cutaneous changes following stun gun injury have been reported; therefore further investigations concerning the frequency and type of histological findings due to stun gun injuries will be necessary in order to provide sufficient characteristic data for a conclusive interpretation. %G %I John Wiley and Sons %@ 0022-1198 %U http://dx.doi.org/
