Axial postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) image at the level of the chest showing a clear intrathoracic ballistic trajectory with an anterior entry hole and diastasis of the presternal skin and subcutaneous fat. Note the perforation of the sternum anteriorly (white arrow) and the perforation of the left scapula posteriorly (black arrow) with outward-directed bone fragments indicative of the direction of the projectile. Left pneumothorax with a hyperdense liquid is visible posteriorly (arrowhead), indicative of haemorrhage in the thoracic cavity. There are also fractures of the left and right humerus (asterisks).
