This case is about the finding of a body of an unidentified male of approximately 70 years of age who was hit by a train. During the carrying out of the corresponding autopsy and after the radiological tests for posterior odontological identification, a foreign body of a cylindrical-cone shape, identical to that of a bullet, was found lodged between the first and second cervical vertebrae. During dissection of the neck, a bullet was found. When the ballistic test was carried out, it was ascertained that the bullet was from a cartridge of 7.92 by 57-mm Mauser caliber, manufactured in Spain in 1936. This ammunition corresponds to that used during the Civil War in Spain (1936-1939). After the identification of the body, it was proved that the bullet was the result of a war wound. However, the victim had been unaware of the existence of the bullet, which had remained in his body for 50 years.
该案件涉及一具身份不明的男性尸体的发现，该男性约70岁，被火车撞击。在进行相应尸检以及为后续牙齿鉴定进行放射学检查后，在第一和第二颈椎之间发现了一个圆柱形圆锥体形状的异物，与子弹形状相同。在颈部解剖过程中，发现了一颗子弹。进行弹道测试时，确定该子弹来自1936年西班牙制造的7.92×57毫米毛瑟口径弹药筒。这种弹药与西班牙内战（1936 - 1939年）期间使用的弹药相符。尸体身份鉴定后，证实子弹是战争创伤所致。然而，受害者一直不知道子弹的存在，它在其体内留存了50年。
