ETA: On closer examination, one thing is suspicious - there is fresh blood on top of a dried blood stain in that carpet. That just seems odd.


Nah that's just the water component of the bodily fluids. When blood separates or congeals, especially on a carpet like that, then the solids will tend to stay on top of the carpet while the fluids continue to seep.

This. Look in his mouth. That is about a foot long blood clot going all the way down his throat.

Pressure from the gun blast inside his mouth and head pushed his left eye out a little bit.

Sadly, I have seen and examined several patients with self inflicted gunshot wounds to the mouth. Crazy enough some survived, most did not.


Some things seen can never be unseen.


That picture is 100% consistent with a self inflicted gunshot wound from a pistol placed inside the mouth, mouth open, and muzzle aimed backward and slightly upward toward the uvula (hangy down thing in back of throat).

The blood on the floor is consistent with this also as a previous poster noted the blood separates and clots. The water portion seeping into fabrics while the solids remain. That photo was also taken with in a relatively short time after the wound as the blood has not significantly changed colors nor has it crusted along the face.

I would assume the blood/sweat stain on the shirt is from a laceration prior to the suicide. Likely from breaking out the windows with that short handled sledge hammer.

As far as the firearms the first is not bump fire, the second one has a bump fire or slide fire stock.
