Destruction of Most of the Head from a Contact Shotgun Wound
Destruction of most of the head from a contact shotgun wound with preservation of the avulsed brain (next to the shotgun in the foreground). No further info about this case. Head injuries from shotguns and high-powered rifles are typically quite devastating, often with extensive soft tissue destruction, skull fractures, and pulpifaction of the brain. Occasionally, the brain is largely expelled from the cranial vault and may be found near the body. Self-inflicted submental and transoral wounds may produce serious but survivable brain injuries if the path of the bullet is limited to the frontal area. The head is the most common location for a suicidal shotgun wound (74%), followed by the chest (20%) and then the abdomen (6%). In head wounds, the most common location was intraoral (50%), followed by under the chin (19%); side of head, including parietal and temporal wounds (15%); and the face, including the forehead (13%). - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

The Timex watch took a licking and quit ticking. An early 1970’s Timex trademarked slogan to reminisce about. |

Now this was an open minded man - so open minded, in fact, that his brains fell out.
