Abstract
An interesting case of a suicide by a home made gun is described. A review of the literature is added. The entry wound is exceptional. The case shows that the forensic assessment of a home made gun case may be very difficult and implies to evaluate all the circumstances related to it. Specific forensic signs of home made gun injuries are suggested.Entities:
