The visible trauma to a body tells a story. By examining bullet holes, the medical examiner can determine whether it is an entrance or exit wound as well as how far away the gun was when it was fired and from what direction the bullet traveled.
The real clues though are inside the body. Internal organs are weighed, examined and x-rayed to confirm initial findings. In this case, inspection of the brain determined the man was killed by a single gun shot wound to the head.
