%X the variability in the entrance and exit wound produced by firearms, depends on the distance, type of weapon and anatomical region, so it can present a very different morphology, which is the reason why, that although several pictures of suicide by other weapons have been published, today we provide a typical case of suicide by a short barrelled gun (pistol), concentrating on the description of the injuries that originate in the skull. here we present a case of a suicide with a 6.35 calibre gun. we intend to study the cone-like sign inside the entrance hole (incorrectly called bonnet sign) and the benassi sign.
