APRIL 22, 2025 Elderly man, for unknown reasons, decided to end his life. He sat on the porch of his house, holding a cigarette in one hand and a pistol in the other. When he found the courage, he shot himself under the chin. To his surprise, he didn’t die and was even able to stand up and walk away. After a while, he returned and successfully completed the act. The sad and desperate incident was recorded by a security camera.
