English term or phrase: he died from gun shot wounds
We were able to obtain a post mortem report on Anna dated July X, 1900, and signed by Dr. Bob. There it is stated that he died from gun shot wounds.

Considerando que se trata de um relatório post-mortem qual é a melhor forma de ser fiel ao texto original e de evitar o "morreu após ser baleado".

agree  Ivan Rocha, CT: Sim. "Gun shot wounds" compreende ferimentos por bala E por projeteis vindos de armas com cano de alma lisa.

  -> Obrigado, e concordo. Não é "bullet wounds". Acho que este é o termo mais técnico...
agree  Marcela Regis Walsh: Também acho que fica melhor "ferimento por arma de fogo". É mais técnico.
