Russian journalist critical of Vladimir Putin found dead on his birthday with gunshot wound to head

Actually, was wondering this myself recently (in the case of the Rwandan general [xx]()) and ended up on the Wikipedia page on the matter which informs us that one study found that 5 out of 138 gunshot suicides they looked at involved two shots to the head. They also document quite a wild case from Australia;

One particular case has been documented from Australia. In February 1995, a man committed suicide on parkland in Canberra. He took a pump action shotgun and shot himself in the chest. The load passed through the chest without hitting a rib, and went out the other side. He then walked fifteen meters, pulled out a pistol and shot himself in the head. After reloading the shotgun, he leaned the shotgun against his throat, and shot his throat and part of his jaw. He then reloaded a final time, walked 200 meters to a hill, sat down on the slope, held the gun against his chest with his hands and operated the trigger with his toes. This shot entered the thoracic cavity and demolished the heart, killing him.
