This woman committed suicide with a gun under the chin, her finger was on the trigger when found, note the raccoon eyes. No further info.


Fig.1 This woman committed suicide, note the raccoon eyes.

Raccoon eyes also known as bruising around the eyes or periorbital hematoma or periorbital bruising (ecchymosis) with tarsal plate sparing, is a sign of basal skull fracture. Raccoon eyes results from blood from skull fracture tracking down into the soft tissue around the eye. Raccoon eyes may also be referred to as panda eyes, especially in the UK.

Basal skull fractures, usually caused by substantial blunt force trauma, involve at least one of the bones that compose the base of the skull. Most basal skull fractures are caused by high-velocity blunt trauma such as motor vehicle collisions, motorcycle crashes, and pedestrian injuries. Falls and assaults are also important causes. Penetrating injuries such as gunshot wounds account for less than 10% of cases.

Pretty tidy suicide - from the front, anyway.

Eye shadow needs work.

Nice find, Herm

Basal skull fracture = raccoon eyes. Didn’t realize it would show up that clearly in the deceased. Nice find.

~ I think she committed suicide because of a romantic failure.
She still has the look of disillusionment in her face.
~ Her romantic in-love interest chose someone else instead of her.

She put the bullet where it needed to be, otherwise the bullet would have came out from the front of the face. Reminds me of that suicide attempt where the guy shot his face off with a shotgun, he end up in the hospital without a face and with more problems than he had already. All he wanted was to die but failed miserably

Look at that under the chin wound. Still gnarly years later
