: Hi, Vita...I expect there is plenty of blood on the BACK of Duncan's head. What we see on the forehead is the entrance wound, after all, and due to the short time it is visible, it probably wouldn't be bleeding yet. I would think the only differences in a bullet wound in 1757 and a bullet wound in 1998 would be those caused by size/caliber of the actual bullet. I could be wrong, not knowing a great deal about guns, either, but I do know that entrance wounds are much smaller, usually, than exit wounds.

This is way too gory a conversation for most people, so I think I'll stop here.

: MMMM

Dear Coroner,
Too gory? Not at all. Goes well with breakfast, don't you think? Please do continue the tale of Dear Duncan's Dandy Demise!
