A decomposed body was judged at the scene to have two gunshot wounds of the thorax and three of the head. Confirmed at autopsy, the condition of the remains precluded conclusions about the precise nature of the defects. Preparation and reconstruction of the skull disclosed seven large cranial defects and a series of fractures. ⋯ Three entrances and three exits were identified. A seventh defect resulted from bullet passage. Finally, the wounds were sequenced.
