A 20-year-old blew his head off after apparently trying to play Russian roulette on his own. Bryan Javier Aguilera Soto had taken a Taurus .38 revolver and gone to visit a friend in Coquimbo, a city in the western Chilean province of Elqui, where he proposed playing the lethal game. His friend unsurprisingly turned down the offer before walking out of the house. Moments later he heard a shot ring out as Mr Aguilera shot himself in the head. Reckless: Bryan Javier Aguilera Soto, 20, who blew his own brains out playing Russian roulette on his own He was rushed to the San Pablo de Coquimbo hospital but despite the best efforts of doctors was pronounced dead at 11.50pm on Saturday, hours after firing the fatal shot. Russian roulette is a potentially lethal game of chance in which a player places a single round in a revolver, spins the cylinder, places the muzzle against his head, and pulls the trigger. With a six-shooter revolver, players have in theory a one-in-six chance of blowing their brains out; but in practice the force of gravity will probably make the full chamber come to rest at the bottom of the cylinder, altering the odds in favour of the player. The term 'Russian roulette' first appeared in a story of the same name by Georges Surdez, which describes Russian officers playing it in Romania in 1917, although it is claimed the game had been widely known in Russia since the early 19th century. Facebook pictures: Mr Aguilera had taken a Taurus .38 revolver and gone to visit a friend in Coquimbo, a city in the western Chilean province of Elqui, where he proposed playing the lethal game Mr Aguilera's death came as the Coquimbo region's chief of police, Colonel Julio Gordon, warned of the danger of having guns in homes precisely because they could fall into the hands of the young and reckless. Days before Mr Aguilera's death he had launched a firearms amnesty in the city, asking any citizens with firearms to 'surrender your weapon' anonymously and with no legal repercussions. Since Mr Aguilera's death it has emerged that the revolver he used was stolen from a neighbour, who was registered to own it. A police spokesman said they are looking into the matter.

I wonder what the second to last thing to go through his mind was.
You never play Russian roulette by yourself. Terrible odds.
Is this supposed to be played with a semi-auto?
Somewhere, Darwin is smiling.
Frankly I am a little surprised it wasn't a autoloader. That actually happened in either Chicago or Detroit maybe 20 years ago. Retards sitting around drinking and getting high decided to play Russian Roulette,so one of the brainiacs pulled the magazine out of his 9mm,thumbed all the rounds out,put one back in the magazine,slammed it home,and let the slide run forward. He then put it to his temple and pulled the trigger. Luckily for him he had no brains to blow out,but he died anyway. Most likely from the vacuum leak.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)
The definition of a fierce competitor.
Yeah, sooner or later the house percentage gets us all.
That may be why he couldn't find an opponent.
Maybe he couldn't find a brain to use.
He thought his odds would be better -- 1:6 in a revolver versus 1:15 with a semi-auto.
I wonder what the second to last thing to go through his mind was. Don't know. Maybe "the odds are against me." Is it really "Russian Roulette" if there are less than two playing?
"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
His death has saved the country some money since they no longer have to try him in court and put him in prison.
Somewhere, Darwin is smiling. ROFL He is definitely a contender for the 2015 Darwin Award.
You are always the practical one, Fibr. :) Sadly, that is true.
An example of self cleaning of the gene pool !!
How can anyone be so insane?
Don't forget about Food Stamps, SSI and Welfare!
