Detective Miller walked into an office where a manager sat dead behind a desk, a revolver clutched in his right hand. A bullet hole pierced the center of his forehead. Miller immediately declared it a homicide, not a suicide. What made it obvious?
You cannot shoot yourself in the center of the forehead with a revolver and retain the grip
The recoil and angle required to shoot oneself dead in the center of the forehead make it biomechanically impossible to keep a tight grip on the revolver afterward.
