Death due to Tandem Bullets with Single Entry Wounds: A Case Report

Öz

In autopsies of firearm-related deaths, besides determining the cause of death, it is necessary to determine the shooting distance, entry and exit wounds, the bullet remaining in the body and the trajectory of bullets. In a case with a single gunshot bullet entry wound, it is unusual to have multiple bullets or multiple exit wounds in the body. The so-called tandem bullets occur when two or more bullets are fired from the barrel of the firearm with a single pull of the trigger. This situation can be caused by insufficient amount of gunpowder, low quality of gunpowder and different technical problems with the firearm. In our study, we presented a case of suicide from the contact shooting with a single entry wound from the right temporal region and a two bullets and a cartridge case in the head. We aimed to contribute to the literature by presenting a rare case of a tandem bullet with a single entry wound.
