Re: Shotgun Wound to the Head
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.

Re: Shotgun Wound to the Head
There wasn't much left to take an x-ray image of. The power of a 12 ga. is frightening.
