Dead body of a young adult male was brought in a gunny bag for autopsy at M.Y. Hospital, Indore (M.P.) in the month of May 1999 by Ujjain police. The dead body was in advanced stage of decomposition with partial skeletonization effect. Skull vault was practically devoid of soft tissue. Examination of skull revealed two holes; one over the right parieto temporal region and another over the occipital region. Whether these holes were due to firearm or due to sharp objects has been discussed in the paper.
