Man fatally shoots himself while proving to friends his shotgun is unloaded
Eric Zyzanski was transported to a hospital and pronounced dead after he accidentally shot himself in the face with a shotgun.
An Evanston man fatally shot himself in the head while showing off his shotgun to friends Sunday.
Eric Zyzanski, 31, wanted to show his friends his shotgun, so went to retrieve it, but when he brought it out, his friends were “alarmed” and told him to put it back.
To calm their feelings, Zyzanski ejected several shells and told his friends the weapon was unloaded. To further prove his point, he placed the shotgun to his face and pulling the trigger.
The weapon discharged and Zyzanski was transported to Saint Francis Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

I knew of a man one time trying to prove to others his shotgun was not loaded. He placed the barrel of the shotgun on the ceiling of the room and pulled the trigger.
He blew a hole in the ceiling of the room and out the roof of the house.
He was drinking alcohol and was pretty intoxicated.
Everyone always knew that 12 gauge shotgun would be the death of him one day.
It was.
A couple of years later he was drinking again one day, and decided to go hunting.
They found him laying face down in a creek with a shotgun blast to the stomach.
He was barely holding his face out of the water, when they found him and called an ambulance.
He said he fell. He died the next day at the hospital.
It was the wrong mix of alcohol and shotgun.
