TY - JOUR PY - 2009// TI - Cone-like sign and Benassi sign in a suicide by firearm JO - Cuadernos de medicina forense A1 - Sibón, A. A1 - Martínez, P. A1 - Vizcaya, M.A. A1 - Haro, M.J. A1 - Romero, J.L. SP - 155 EP - 158 VL - IS - 56 N2 - 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.
