I’m a simple man. I see Herman has posted, I click and like.

Just curious why the face has been covered in the autopsy/forensics lab? The wound must have been very gruesome for hardened medical professionals to cover it.

There wasn't much left to take an x-ray image of. The power of a 12 ga. is frightening.

Yeah, the 12 ga is a perfect suicide machine.
