Cyclist hits deer, shoots self

So the deer has been exonerated. I smell a cover-up.
Weird story, I ride that rode often.
Easy to smack a deer on but when I heard about the suicide aspect, it doesn’t make sense.
Does “self-inflicted” also mean “intentional” here? I can see that it would be self-inflicted but accidental, if he was trying to shoot at the deer at the moment of impact.
Quite simple realy.Biker had several dwi”s, license suspended revoked, had a few beers that day, know he will have blood tested at hospital,knows he’s facing 6-10 years in prison, decided he wasn’t going.
My hunch: The rider was paralyzed (or thought he was) from the waist down and didn’t want to live that way. So he ended it.
Sad sad sad story.

Perhaps the self-inflicted shot was accidental. Maybe a gun he was carrying somehow fired during the crash hitting him in the head.
Ya never know.
