Produktbeschreibung

Multiple gunshot suicide occurs when an individual commits suicide by firearm and inflicts two or more gunshots upon himself before becoming incapacitated. It does not include suicides where the firearms are operated by other persons, such as suicide by cop.Multiple gunshot suicides engender controversy because of the popular misconception that it is impossible for an individual to inflict more than one gunshot upon themselves. Because of this many are associated with conspiracy theories, which hold that those individuals actually were the victims of a homicide.Forensic medicine has discovered, however, that suicides by firearm involving multiple gunshots, although uncommon, are by no means rare; as many as eight percent of suicides by firearm involve multiple gunshots.Suicides involving as many as six self- inflicted gunshots have been documented in the literature.
