Dr. Matthew Bowes, the province’s chief medical examiner, testified that the best explanation for a wound to the killer’s head is that he fired a bullet into his own temple, while also saying he might have survived that injury for “minutes” at the Enfield, N.S., scene.
Bowes said the gunshot wounds inflicted by the RCMP constables who opened fire just after 11:24 a.m. on April 19, 2020, created damage to the killer’s major organs that “would normally kill a person in seconds.” As a result, Bowes’ written report of Oct. 6, 2020 says the death of Gabriel Wortman, a 51-year-old denturist, occurred due to the police shooting him, rather than being a suicide.

MacLeod said in his interview that, “despite being hit was able to get the pistol up to his temple,” but he had added he hadn’t been able to determine if the killer had actually shot himself.
