A nail gun is a type of a tool used to drive nails into some kinds of hard materials. In this paper, an unusual case of intracranial penetrating nail gun injury is presented. The body of a badly charred man was found following a house fire. Autopsy revealed four intracranial nails in the occipital area. Also, tears of the stomach and diaphragm were found. Carbon monoxide saturation of a blood sample was a 5.2% and a small amount of soot was present in larynx and trachea. Subsequent investigation of the circumstance and autopsy findings strongly suggest that the deceased had shot himself in the head with a pneumatic nail gun and had died by self immolation.
Key words : Craniocerebral injury; Autopsy; Nail gun; Suicide, Self-inflicted injury
