TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - Homicides disguised as staged suicides JO - Academic forensic pathology A1 - Prahlow, Samuel P. A1 - Cohle, Stephen A1 - Shattuck, Brandy A1 - Prahlow, Joseph A. SP - 104 EP - 112 VL - 10 IS - 2 N2 - Determining the correct cause and manner of death are among the chief responsibilities of the forensic pathologist. When confronted with a case having a questionable manner of death, it is important for scene evidence, witness statements, and forensic autopsy findings to be thoroughly reviewed before certifying the manner of death. Herein three gunshot wound cases are presented which initially were suspected to be suicides but were instead determined to be homicides through full investigations with correlation to autopsy findings.
