I have worked several suicides with a fire arm as they were organ donors. brain dead live body. I have also worked a number cop killings of dead drunk people. a six year old left at home with a plastic ray gun. shot in the neck with a .40 call hollow point. just skin was holding his head on. and as it turned out is was an illegal entry by the cops. I know what self inflicted wounds look like. I have never come across a suicide where the person shot themselves in the back of the head twice successfully. but it was ruled suicide. If you are brain dead from the first shot you cant pull the trigger a second time. shot in the heart maybe shot in the brain impossible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
