Suicidal twelve-bore shotgun wound. The entrance is one of the ‘sites of election’, in the neck. One barrel of a double-barrelled shotgun was used, the unfired barrel causing a muzzle mark. Sites of election are the temple, the neck, the mouth and the chest. Suicides rarely shoot themselves in the eye or abdomen.
