van Gogh not a suicide?
A theory put out by a new biography of van Gogh says he was probably shot accidentally by a kid with a penchant for cowboy costumes and real guns
Quote:
I'd always known he was supposed to have committed suicide, but I never heard about him shooting himself in the chest until a few weeks ago- I thought at the time it seemed a really bad way to go about it, but I put it down to him being so screwed up.

Title corrected.
It's an interesting theory, and makes for a good story. I didn't know he was shot in the chest either. I suppose that due to the ear, I always thought he'd had to have aimed for the head.
