Man shoots himself while posing for a 'selfie'
Oscar Otero Aguilar who accidentally killed himself as he posed for a ''selfie'' with a gun to his head.
Rosa Prince By Rosa Prince, New York 04 Aug 2014
A young Mexican man has died after accidentally shooting himself in the head while posing for a “selfie” with a loaded gun.
Oscar Otero Aguilar, who worked in a pet shop, is said to have been drinking with friends in Medero, in the north of the capital, Mexico City, when the accident happened.
A follower of the “selfie” craze - in which people pose for photographs they take of themselves - Otero Aguilar frequently posted pictures of himself on social media sites.
He had been at home with with his two housemates, Omar Abner Campos Vives and man known only as “El Paco,” when neighbours heard a gun go off followed by screaming.
One neighbour, Manfredo Paez Paez, 57, said: ”I heard a gunshot, and then I heard somebody screaming and realised somebody had been hurt. I called the police straight away and when they arrived they found that he was still alive.”

Philip A.The incident begs the question:
Did he survive because he missed his own head with the barrel actually touching it, or because there were not enough brain cells inside for the bullet to find them?

Opus1I would go for door number 2.
But this story isn't all that great without pictures. So what the hell happened to the selfie?

Texas KillartistSadly, he is not eligible for a Darwin Award .
In order to get an award, one has to die so they cannot pass on their stupidity genes.
If he died, he will get an 'award'and the rest of humanity will benefit.
