A "PIGGY-BACK" BULLET WOUND OF THE HEAD

ROBERT S. SHACKLETT M.D., KENNETH D. DOLAN M.D., and EARL F. ROSE M.D., L.L.B.

A suicide fatality in which 2 bullets entered the head in tandem through a single skull defect is described. This has been termed a "piggy-back" bullet wound.

Such an injury is produced by a defective cartridge allowing a bullet to remain in the gun barrel after firing, followed by a second shot which then propels both bullets as a single missile.
