Now here is a first, for me at least: Fox News via Boing Boing
An 81-year-old Queensland, Australia man has died of gun shot wounds to the head. The weapon was a 22 caliber firearm operated by a robot of the man's own construction from plans he found on the web. News is still sketchy, but a note left at the scene suggests that the man deliberately set the robot and himself up in such a way that he would be discovered quickly by workmen nearby. It's still unclear as to just what motivated him to go to such extremes, however his note expressed anxiety cause by pressure from relatives suggesting he move out of his home and into a care facility.
