The Shocker's Mix 60
Some of the stuff I work on doesn't make the cut so I thought about gathering them up in a single post. So basically it's images I have little or no info about or I've decided that they don't get their own thread, for example, because of low image/content quality, lack of backstory or additional info/knowledge, possibly uninteresting, only one image but not very special. I still do the usual image work including upscaling and color correction as needed, as I prefer to have my content high quality and educational. - - - Case 1  Fig1.1 Postmortem animal predation. This individual died and his body was scavenged by animals, no further info. The phenomenon of postmortem animal interference with human bodies or their remains is a substantial part of the taphonomic processes a body undergoes after death and animal depredation occurring after death is routinely encountered in forensic pathology. Postmortem injuries can be inflicted by all kinds of animals, irrespective of their size or environmental origin, whether from land, sea, or air. The discrimination between antemortem injury versus postmortem artifacts generally presents no difficulties because of the total absence of hemorrhages and reddening in the tissue adjacent to the wound margins and the lack of any vital reaction under the microscope. - - - Case 2  Fig2.1 Shotgun suicide. This individual committed suicide using a shotgun, no further info. 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%). In the head, neck, and limbs, shotgun exit wounds can be ragged and very large, with extensive tissue damage. In a suicide where the gun has been placed in the mouth, there will be significant disruption of the head, and brain may be expelled, the so-called “burst head” effect. - - - Case 3  Fig3.1 Contact gunshot wound with stellate blow back lacerations. Contact gunshot wound with stellate blow back lacerations and singeing. In contact gunshot wounds with bony tissue underlying the injury, the injuries are typically called a stellate wound, where the gases exit the barrel before the projectile. As a result, the gas collides with the bone tissue, resulting in the reflection of the gases. This gas causes the expansion of subcutaneous space and pressure, which results in an explosive injury, tearing, and lacerating the skin and subcutaneous tissue, resulting in the stellate wound. Additionally, the expanding gases also cause a back-splatter of soft-tissue and blood onto the firearm and fingers. - - - Case 4  Fig4.1 Perioral lacerations from an intraoral gunshot wound. Perioral lacerations from an intraoral gunshot wound blowback from a closed mouth. In this intraoral gunshot wound, note the tissue tears extending from the side of the mouth. These tears result from the large amount of gases exiting the end of the barrel at high pressures. In contrast to the head, contact shotgun wounds of the torso often have a fairly innocuous appearance, likely related to the elastic nature of the tissues of the body walls and the ability of the chest or abdominal cavities to be able to accommodate a large amount of expelled gas. The discharge of a weapon involves the release not only of a projectile but of hot gas under high pressure as well. If the lips are sealed around the barrel, the rapid expansion of departed gases causes the cheeks and face to balloon far beyond their elastic capacity. This results in the characteristic tears seen in the figure. - - - Case 5  Fig5.1 Circular saw cuts of neck. Circular saw cuts of the neck in a suicide, no further info. Accidental table saw injuries are common and approximately 30,000–40,000 injuries by table saw occur in the United States annually. Nearly half of all saw-related amputations are caused by table saws. Victims that commit suicide by table saw primarily target the neck. The mechanism of death in neck injuries is always exsanguination due to injury of the large vessels, but some blood aspiration also occurs. In the reconstruction of events in table saw fatalities, the analysis of circumstances and injuries is important to differentiate between murder, suicide, or accidents. Signs of struggle (e.g., broken furniture), grab marks, and defensive wounds suggest murder. The presence of a suicide note, information about previous suicide attempts or suicidal thoughts, presence of scars from previous suicidal incisions, or tentative cuts indicate suicide. The presence of abrasion, contusion, or laceration by a blunt force impact on the head suggests an accident due to a kickback, occurring when the victim fell down on the rotating blade after getting hit by the timber kicked back by the saw. During the “normal” use of a table saw, the operator is standing in front of the table in line with the rotating blade, so if he falls down on the blade, it will cause vertical head or neck injury. In contrast, the injury is more horizontal in suicides. - - - Case 6  Fig6.1 Chop wounds of the scalp. Chop wounds of the scalp and skull from a hatchet. Chop injury represents a unique category of sharp force trauma, although, in reality, its characteristic features often have both blunt and sharp qualities; more accurately, then, chop injuries should be viewed at the intersection of both. Chop injuries are as unmistakable as they are fatal, their dramatic appearance demonstrative of their devastating effects. These injuries are typically caused by heavy/dense, unwieldy weapons with a sharp cutting surface that are expressly used to cause serious physical injury and/or death. Examples of such weapons include axes, meat cleavers, machetes, and hatchets, among others. A typical chop wound is large and gaping, with a broad and deep exposure of the soft tissues and sometimes bone, occasionally with avulsion of muscle. - - - Case 7  Fig7.1 Suicide with a hunting rifle.  Fig7.2 Suicide with a hunting rifle. This individual died after shooting himself under the chin with a hunting rifle. No further info. 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. 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 centerfire 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. - Part 1 --- Part 2 --- Part 3 --- Part 4 --- Part 5 --- Part 6 --- Part 7 --- Part 8 --- Part 9 --- Part 10 --- Part 11 --- Part 12 --- Part 13 --- Part 14 --- Part 15 --- Part 16 --- Part 17 --- Part 18 --- Part 19 --- Part 20 --- Part 21 --- Part 22 --- Part 23 --- Part 24 --- Part 25 --- Part 26 --- Part 27 --- Part 28 --- Part 29 --- Part 30 --- Part 31 --- Part 32 --- Part 33 --- Part 34 --- Part 35 --- Part 36 --- Part 37 --- Part 38 --- Part 39 --- Part 40 --- Part 41 --- Part 42 --- Part 43 --- Part 44 --- Part 45 --- Part 46 --- Part 47 --- Part 48 --- Part 49 --- Part 50 --- Part 51 --- Part 52 --- Part 53 --- Part 54 --- Part 55 --- Part 56 --- Part 57 --- Part 58 --- Part 59 - This post is for educational purposes only and is nonprofit.

Re: The Shocker's Mix 60
What a great Easter Shockprise  Animals have been at it again and turned #1 into another piece of art. #3 is so pretty even though it still feels weird to call a gunshot wound "pretty"  Speaking of guns, the #7 is brutal and especially the second pic downright oozes agony. Rifles are just as merciless as shotguns are.
