It was, however, a stupid accident. Apparently (and I haven't had a chance to speak to the people I know over at Fox yet) he was playing "Russian Roulette" with a .44 loaded with several blanks (remaining chambers empty). In his television show, he was supposedly an ex-marine weapons expert. In real life, he knew little about arms and apparently had not been told about how blanks work. He put the gun to his temple and hit a chamber with a blank. The blank's cotten wadding blew a quarter-sized chunk of his skull to the center of his brain. Aren't guns fun? --Lauren--
