An Australian octagenarian has used a home-made suicide machine to shoot himself in his own driveway.

The 81 year old man reportedly built a machine that when activated, fired four .22 bullets into his head.

The man built the machine from plans he found online. He then set it up in his driveway and activated the machine, which is reportedly remote controlled. Builders on a nearby building site heard the gunshots and notified the police.

Apparently notes found at the scene explained that the man was taking his own life because he couldn’t bear that relatives had planned to move him into a old folks home.

Now there’s a one way ticket for an all expense paid guilt-trip.
