Only wanna add cuz think its intresting. Not saying this incident isn't fishy but headshot suicide attempts can fail possibly as often as 10% of the time.
According to this site, (which cites sources):
Reasons for non-fatal suicide attempts by firearms include attempting to shoot the gun in the chest or abdomen (presumably aiming at the heart) but not hitting the heart, bullets passing through the temples and missing the brain, aiming up through the chin, flinching, thus missing important parts of the brain, not using powerful enough guns or poor ammunition.
Emphasis mine because that part sounds crazy
studies have shown firearms to be between 73% and 92% effective to achieve a lethal outcome in suicide. However, Stone2 notes from studies on unsuccessful firearm attempts that the chances of a successful outcome are as low as 50% if the firearm is aimed into the abdomen (tummy). Shots to the brain have a much higher fatality rate likely to be nearer 90%, or even higher if a shotgun is used.
So maybe. Just maybe, this guy was really determined to kill himself and accidentally shot through his temples 5 or so times, before the moneyshot. That must have been unpleasant.
