"Houdini handcuff suicides"

The county coroner states the defendant was able to shoot himself while being handcuffed from behind because of his "body habitus" which is a medical term denoting what one is shaped like. In x-ray terminology a hypersthenic person is muscular and a hyposthenic one is thin.....so I am assuming that the coroner is saying the young man was somehow thin enough or muscular enough to grab a gun and shoot himself in the chest while being handcuffed with his hands behind his back.

All the while in the back seat of a police car at a police station.
