ExpandMyMind Posted March 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Police are investigating the death of a man who had apparently been playing Russian roulette. Emergency services were called to a house on Hogg Avenue in Johnstone, Renfrewshire, on Saturday following a "firearms" incident. Alan McWilliams, 41, was found seriously injured and taken to the Southern General Hospital in Glasgow for treatment but died on Sunday. A neighbour told the Scottish Sun newspaper that Mr McWilliams had been "playing Russian roulette with a pal and the gun went off". http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/man-dies-playing-russian-roulette Wow. If this story is accurate then we have another contender for a Darwin Award. Incredible. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Commander Travis Posted March 5, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Man dies playing 'Russian roulette'? Perhaps it's not one of Rihanna's more upbeat songs, but I didn't think it was that bad. :-/ 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander CMG Posted March 5, 2013 #4 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Why spend tax payers money on this? he was playing Russian roulette with a pal and the gun went off...end off! I guess it could be an un-licensed, un-registered firearm or he may have been killed and it was made to look like “Russian Roulette” gone wrong. This game never appealed to me, I think I will stick to "Hungry Hippo’s" although you can get a nasty nip on your fingers playing that… I guess all games are played with an element of risk. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could well be murder, still early doors to tell. if the gun does turn out to be the victims, and the lab can not tell if it was murder or an accident, then this could well be an unsolved case.

CrimsonKing Posted March 6, 2013 #16 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I actually think this man playing this game was a wise decision,if you are stupid enough to "play" with a loaded weapon at least be smart enough to die when the game is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acute Posted March 8, 2013 #17 Share Posted March 8, 2013 He was playing Russian Roulette, yet the death is "unexplained"! Maybe I should email Strathclyde Police with my 'putting a loaded gun to your head and pulling the trigger may be detrimental to your health' theory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted March 9, 2013 #19 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This reminds me of a 1980s TV actor named Jon-Erik Hexum. He shot himself in the head on set with a .44 caliber blank/prop pistol. The paper wadding in the blank cartridge had enough force to drive a piece of his skull into his brain.... ooops.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
