A vet who posed with a gun for a selfie died shortly after shooting himself in the head by accident.
Oscar Aguilar showed off on Facebook by posting photos of himself in front of sports cars, sitting on motorbikes and hugging attractive women.
But the Mexican’s desire to impress proved his downfall when he borrowed the gun and snapped himself waving it about.
Neighbour Manfredo Paez, 57, said: ‘I heard a gunshot and then I heard somebody screaming.’
The 21-year-old died on the way to hospital in Mexico City.
He had failed to realise the gun was loaded, police said.

I’m not sure she’s really talking about a pistol.

Vet = veterinarian, although I’m a bit dubious about that considering his age.

At least that will be one less “child” emigrating to America.Death isn't the barrier it used to be.

Shades of Terry Kath from the band Chicago.
I believe that Mr. Kath was actually the very first Darwin Award winner.
