C’mon guys, this is an easy one.
After leaping from a chair with a noose around his neck, he was filled with sudden remorse at his impending death. Now desperately wanting to live, he pulled the gun he happened to be carrying and attempted to shoot the rope before it strangled him. Sadly, he missed, accidentally shooting himself in the head, as he dangled helplessly in the noose, simultaneously shooting and hanging himself.
C’mon, this is obvious. Give me a hard one.
Um, how about ‘he put the noose around his neck while standing on a chair, then shot himself in the head and his fall hung him?
