Not sure if a DNA test was necessary to determine that skull fragment wasn&#x27;t the result of a suicide... not that this says much about whether it is Hitler&#x27;s skull or not. The picture provided in the article clearly shows a downward angled hole high on the parietal lobe of the skull-- a typical suicide shot, assuming it was taken at roughly the temple, should be in the temporal or sphenoid bones, and angled flat or slightly upward.<p>EDIT: I don&#x27;t know if Hitler was right or left handed, but a right handed person would likely use their right hand to fire a suicide shot. This may be another fact that is inconsistent with the existing skull fragment, which has a bullet hole on the right half.
