ABSTRACT
You can go to a scene of a suicide where the victim has placed the muzzle end of a 12-bore gun under his chin before £ring it, and £nd the shot charge and wadding lodged inside his head during the postmortem examination, rather than the more usual explosive type of injury resulting from such a discharge. However, much work has been done by other researchers, who do not always concur with each other’s £ndings, which I will attempt to cover later in this chapter.
