A 23-year-old man was shot from a distance with trajectories going from back to front and on a nearly horizontal level. These findings observed in the autopsy could represent homicide, but scene investigation and police records were interpreted and it became clear that the case was suicide. Thus, this case shows that the determination of the manner of death requires a careful forensic investigation including autopsy findings, scene investigation, and reconstruction of the events.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessLegal medicineSuicideForensic autopsyShotgun woundForensic scienceAutopsyInjuriesGunshot woundsFirearm fatalitiesWounds, gunshotSuicideMaleHumansForensic medicineBack injuriesAdultArticle0002345531000232-s2.0-3364524058313113351116423238Medicine, legalGunshot Wounds; Guns (Armament); FirearmsSuicidePriority journalMaleHumanHomicideGunshot injuryForensic identificationFatalityCase reportBallisticsAutopsyArticleAdult
