A fatal case of lead poisoning due to a retained bullet.
DiMaio VJ, DiMaio SM, Garriott JC, Simpson P.
Lead poisoning from a retained bullet or missile is rare and is usually 
dependent on the location of the missile in a bone or immediately adjacent 
to a joint. A review of the literature revealed only 14 cases in which there 
was adequate laboratory documentation of plumbism caused by a retained 
bullet or missile. Only one of these previously reported cases resulted in 
death. We report a second death due to lead poisoning from a retained bullet 
with elevated blood lead levels documented by toxicologic analysis.>
