Two cases of crossbow deaths involving analysis of damage to clothing and bedding are described. The distinctive characteristics of the damage examined in these cases indicate that there is merit in examining damage to clothing as well as wounds to the body in crossbow injuries. Clothing damage analysis may be especially useful if the body is badly decomposed or never recovered. Furthermore, damage to textiles may reflect a clearer geometry of the weapon than that of the associated wounding.
描述了两起涉及对衣物和床上用品损坏情况进行分析的弩致死案例。在这些案例中所检查的损坏的独特特征表明，在弩伤案件中，检查衣物损坏以及身体伤口是有价值的。如果尸体严重腐烂或始终未找到，衣物损坏分析可能会特别有用。此外，纺织品上的损坏可能比相关伤口更清晰地反映出武器的形状。
