A STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES

SECOND EDITION

 

Forensics Findings: Victim 2

Sean Cavaness had died between 5:00 A.M. and 7:00 A.M. that morning, possibly less than one hour before discovery of his body. The cause of death was two .357-caliber magnum bullets to the head, either of which was lethal.

The shot to the back of the head just to the right of center had traveled up- ward at angle through the brain and exited at the corner of the left eye. It had been fired from a distance of one inch or less, but not in actual contact, as evidenced by the powder stippling and searing of the flesh. Based on the blood spatter pattern and flesh fragments found on the left shoulder and in the crook of the left arm, it was evident that Sean had been standing with his left arm slightly raised when he was hit by the first shot.
