Reminds me of an old boy who walked into a gunshop near my old home town a few years ago. He was a well known regular customer.
He asked to view a 12g, and once handed the gun, reached into his pocket, loaded said gun, and took his own life right there and then.
No one saw that one coming, sadly
Turned out his wife and lifelong partner had recently passed away.
