single shot shot gun

Question
QUESTION: Do you think it is possible for a woman to commit suicide with a single shot
shot gun and shoot herself twice the first in the face and the second in the
chest?

ANSWER: No, not if the head wound was serious.

People who commit suicide with a gun typically will instinctively pull away as the trigger is pulled, and people have wounded themselves superficially by doing so.

Someone really determined to take her own life could possibly reload the gun and do it again if she inflicted only a superficial wound, but if the first wound were incapacitating, it would be unlikely.

QUESTION: the first shot took her mouth and half of her noses off and came out of her
chin. We have been trying to get the police to investigate and they ruled it a
suicide and her husband was at the residence at the time. Can you give us
some advice as to how to get an gun expert to maybe give their opinion
about her shooting herself. we had to have a close casket for her funeral.

Answer
Elaine,

I am so, so sorry for your loss.

Why are the police not interested in investigating this? Did she have a history of depression? What was their marriage like?

I would think it was unlikely for someone surviving such wounds to have the presence of mind to reload a single-shot shotgun.

You don't need a gun expert.  What you need is a private investigator if the police will not take this up.  Try to find one that was a former detective, particularly a homicide detective.

May the good Lord bring you justice, and your family peace.
