Self-inflicted Gunshot to the Forehead with a 12/70 Caliber Shotgun
Auto-translated from German. Self-inflicted gunshot to the forehead with a 12/70 caliber shotgun. The scalp is torn open in several long stretches; the actual bullet defect cannot be identified. The bony skull is largely dismantled, and large parts of the brain are no longer inside the skull. There are short, separate skin tears on both sides of the nose. No further info about this case. Why on earth they censored the mouth instead of the usual eyes I have no idea.  Centerfire rifles, whether military or hunting, frequently cause a strong ‘explosive’ effect with comminution of bones and laceration of brain tissue up to a so-called Kröhnlein shot (exenteratio cranii). Shotgun injuries differ substantially depending on the range of fire. Close-range shots have a tremendous effect similar to centrefire rifles by literally riddling brain tissue and blasting the skull. The high internal cranial pressure often leads to long skin tears, also detached from the bullet opening, as well as extensive bone fracture systems and brain tissue destruction. - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

Great post.... you have to wonder the reasoning behind whoever pixelated the mouth but left the yawning cavern that remained of his head for all to see.

He was probably indecently grinning. The good old Hemingway method: no pain and over in an instant. |

My guess on the mouth censoring is that it was the only part of the face that remained intact enough to potentially be recognizable by someone who knew the decedent. Censoring the mouth effectively makes the victim anonymous, because really, who in the fuck is going to recognize those eyes in that state? |
