“The guests later heard a single gunshot from upstairs. Bliss ran upstairs into Reeves’ bedroom and found him lying across the bed dead, his naked body facing upward and his feet on the floor. It is believed that this corroborated Reeves’ sitting position on the edge of the bed when he allegedly shot himself, after which his body fell back on the bed and the .30 caliber (7.65×21mm) Luger pistol fell between his feet.”
Good morning™, medical examiners!
In the case of George Reeves, Wikipedia tells us:
“The guests later heard a single gunshot from upstairs. Bliss ran upstairs into Reeves’ bedroom and found him lying across the bed dead, his naked body facing upward and his feet on the floor. It is believed that this corroborated Reeves’ sitting position on the edge of the bed when he allegedly shot himself, after which his body fell back on the bed and the .30 caliber (7.65×21mm) Luger pistol fell between his feet.”
