Forensics Quiz

Well in the previous class we looked at a bunch of forensic cases to figure out the cause of death.  Naturally, Adam and I created the chupicabra who went on a killing spree to explain all these deaths.  This case was assigned to us as a quiz.
The answer to this quiz is obviously that the chupicabra saw the man on Thompson Creek Trail and wanted the man dead because he could run faster then him.  So he went into a tree and waited for him to run by. When the man passed the chupicabra fired down hitting him on the first shot.  This shot went through past his left third rib and refracted off of his right 8th rib.  The bullet through all of this passed through his heart and bounced out exploding his stomach.  He died in pain from the acids eating his organs while he bled out.  Three other possibilities are that the bullet hit his lung and he died of oxygen deprivation, the bullet miraculously only it his liver before exiting and he died from blood poisoning, or finally the shrapnel  of the bullet somehow missed all vital organs and he died of internal bleeding.  These three are not possible though, because they are nearly impossible on their own, and the angle of the bullet would not allow them.
