Just what is point blank range for a shotgun?

Depends on the choke, round, and barrel length. Up close probably 5ft or less #8 shot will kill a human in the right spot.

I know of an ongoing investigation in my county where the victim was found dead, presumable due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. This is the working theory of the sheriff’s department.

He shot himself in the head with a shotgun, yet there is not one drop of blood to be found on him or his clothing. Figure that one out. Nothing adds up about this as self-inflicted with a shotgun to the head at point blank range. He shouldn’t have a head.
