A family friend shot herself, but she survived. Half her face was missing (basically her whole bottom jaw was blown off and I think her nose was split or something) and had to have multiple reconstructive surgeries and she could barely talk. She regretted her decision. She was also a very beautiful woman.

Before she woke up her husband was actually charged with murder because she used his gun (that was only licensed to him - we don't live in the US and there are strict gun laws here), but luckily she woke up and was able to testify that she attempted suicide and he played no part! This happened while he was walking the dog for only 20mins...
