Suspicious Death of an Elderly Man Near a Highway

Leiria, Portugal. An elderly man was found dead in a lake near a highway. Police stated the presence of head trauma with multiple fractures. It was suggested that the trauma was related to a traffic accident that propelled the body into the nearby lake. However, according to the facial injuries seen during the recovery, homicide was not excluded. Later, after the analysis of several photographs, a radiographic examination was suggested.

Examination of the radiograph reveals a completely different traumatic diagnosis and cause of death. The injuries to the face are the result of ballistic trauma, as verified with the cloud of pellets inside the cranium, which immediately excludes a traffic accident as the cause of death.

An entrance gunshot wound was found in the middle of the face. The wad and one of the petals of the shot colander were found intermingled with the liquid mass the brain was reduced to. The aspect of the entrance and the presence of the wad indicates a close shot, suggesting the possibility of suicide. To better document the case, the skull bones were collected, macerated, and reconstructed.

To confirm this suspicion, the police found in the lake a double-barreled shotgun with the barrels positioned down and dug into the sand. The trigger guard emerged out of the lake. Only one of the shotgun shells was expended, while the other was intact. Pellets, in accordance with the single shotgun shell, were observed at autopsy. Moreover, a small piece of rope was found on the trigger that the victim used to pull the trigger and discharge the shell as illustrated by the compacted primer on one of the shells. All these features contributed to a manner of death ruling this incident as a suicide.

The entrance wound was in the vicinity of the mouth, and the pathway was median, front to back, and up towards the occipital, also consistent with a suicide.
