Man Builds Robot to Kill Him
An 81-year-old man from Burleigh Heads, Australia, downloaded plans to build a killer robot from the Internet, built the complex machine, and then used it to kill himself in his driveway.The robot could be remotely operated to fire a gun, and the man attached the machine to a .22 semi-automatic pistol loaded with four bullets.
He positioned the device so that it fired multiple shots into his head after he activated it.
In his notes, the man explained that he chose the driveway location because construction workers at a nearby site would hear the shots and find his body, which they did.
His notes also talked about his struggles with relatives who thought that he should move out of his home and into an assisted care facility.
