Unsuccessfully dying from shooting himself in the head? What would that even mean? He did not actually die. Why not add more clutter? Unsuccessfully trying to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head, maybe? Or unsuccessfully trying to split hairs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Incidentally there are is almost a club of people shot in the head but survived the 'experience'. From spurned husbands/wives to victims of crime or police shootings. A short search will reveal as much. One I know from memory is general of the Luftwaffe Kurt Student, who got shot in the head by friendly fire, shortly after the Battle of Rotterdam in May 1940. He was fixed up by Dutch surgeon dr. van Staveren, and a year later he commanded the German forces in the Battle of Crete. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's fairly simple to deduce. Indeed, if you're not too squeamish there are surely still pictures on line of the survivor from the two guys who set out to shoot themselves after listening to Judas Priest. He still - kind of - has a face, if you get my drift, but he certainly continues to live. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,616 Posted March 6, 2015 Speaking of shooting yourself in the head and surviving, the one who lived to sue Judas Priest in a farcical case that did nobody any real favours was James Vance.

He left behind a one year old daughter, so someone was able to see past his disfigurement, although I'm trying not to picture the scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
