So it made sense why he was able to shoot himself twice.

The cause of death was made gunshot wounds of the head, manner of death suicide.

Case closed.

And what was on that towel, you ask?

Well, she had walked down to the scene and was noticed by the people who lived in the house to be cleaning up the area where her husband had shot himself.

So what was on that towel was probably some of his remains.

About a year after the incident, she moved away, and new neighbors came in, and things returned to normal.

And eventually we moved away as well, and now we have new neighbors too.

And that whole incident has just become a distant, bizarre memory.

So basically, a knife was shoved into the neck at such an angle that it struck the base of the skull.

And with that striking the base of the skull, the force of that can cause cracking of the bone, et cetera, depending on how hard it is.

When you do that, you're hitting all the vasculature and musculature in this area.

It's the carotid, the jugular vein.

You're going to get massive hemorrhaging from that kind of spurting out all over the place.

So stab wounds to the neck usually are very vascular, very hemorrhagic.

And depending on how they're angled, if they come more to midline, they can also involve your trachea or your windpipe where the air comes through.

And then you're basically now breathing through that new hole in your windpipe and the blood is flooding in there.

So you're gagging on your blood as you're bleeding out.

It's pretty bad to be stabbed in the neck.

So it means that the knife was driven in quite deeply, probably almost all the way up to the hilt of the knife.
