Abstract

Dossier concerning Guo Yi (郭毅), a 28-year-old man from Hebei who died in Shanghai on 7 April 1949 after shooting himself. A medical certificate of death issued by Lester Chinese Hospital (上海仁濟醫院) identifies the deceased as 郭毅, male, aged 28, and records a gunshot wound to the head (頭腦部槍傷) as the primary cause of death. The place of death is given as the Lester Chinese Hospital on Shantung Road. The dossier contains the police report on the non-natural death, statements concerning the circumstances leading to the shooting, the hospital death certificate, judicial correspondence, a prosecutorial inquest, and a detailed examination of the corpse. The final medico-legal examination concludes that Guo Yi died after using a handgun on himself, with the gunshot directed at the left temple.

Comment

Predominantly handwritten Chinese documents on printed police and judicial forms, together with a bilingual Chinese-English medical certificate from Lester Chinese Hospital. The deceased is consistently identified as 郭毅, male, aged 28, native of Hebei. The forensic material establishes a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the left temple. The dossier also contains documentation concerning the firearm and ammunition associated with the case. Some details concerning the deceased's employment, exact location of the shooting, and circumstances or motive are difficult to decipher with sufficient confidence and are therefore not specified in the catalogue record.
