ABSTRACT
An unusual case of a suicidal firearm injury is presented, in which the victim placed the gun under his chin and fired. However, none of the vital structures of the head and face were injured because the victim's chin was considerably anterior to other facial structures as a result of a class III facial deformity. This resulted in the trajectory of the bullet being anterior to vital facial structures and not causing injury to those structures.
