He says shotgun suicide is tricky, because a when you put your chin over a shotgun barrel(with stock butt on the floor), depending on barrel length, you have to reach down for the trigger. When reaching down too far, the head bends back to keep the chin touching the barrel. The blast goes through the lower face and misses the the target -- the brain. Apparently, you don't need all that shit below your brain to function. Your face, I mean.

This is exactly what happened to a guy I used to work with. Everything from the eyebrows down, fucking GONE. Last I heard he was going to be propped up in a nursing home for the rest of his now completely fucked life.
Why did he do it? We went about 4 or 5 months working close to 18 hour days wih no days off at all, not even Sundays. Finally his wife couldn't take it anymore and she threatened to leave if he didn't quit but instead he broke down and fucking shot himself. Thing is, the pay was so good that it would be pretty much impossible for a blue collar guy to find a new job that paid anything close to what we were getting so we were all stuck. Well, except for him, he found a way out.
