    Re: Comedian Richard Jeni (45) shot himself in the face and died at nearby hospital

    I didn't read that article above, but I heard he may have had a terminal illness of some sort.

    I found this on a site.

    At this point, it isn't known why Jeni blasted himself in the face with a shotgun, but it was known in the comedy biz that he was a bitter guy. We all at times suffer from myopia, especially creative types who crave the spotlight to feed their egos. (I would have to rate comedians/bloggers right near the top of this category.)

    I'd be bitter too! He is an original comic who writes his own stuff, for many years. Where's his television show? Why is he doesn't get one, when a guy who used to admire, Carlos Mencia can after it is proved that he rips other comics off? Sucks...
    Boring game.

    I'm wondering if there is not something fishy here (the girlfriend maybe).  I don't understand why an autopsy is necessary.  Seems like the cause of death is pretty obvious.

    They always have to confirm suicides with autopsies. If they just said "Yeah. he's dead of a gunshot to the face, end of story"  any evidence to whether it was intentional or not and who did it would be lost.

    actually that depends on the state. when my brother completed his suicide, all north carolina needed was a note verifiable in his handwriting and the weapon.

    if there is some discrepancy of perhaps no note found or the weapon found in an odd manner, this would cause autopsy in north carolina.

    Well the g/f was there with him and shooting yourself in the face is kinda rare, as it doesn't have as high of a success rate as eating a gun does.&nbsp; Did they mention a note?

    My brother shot himself in the heart with a slug called a &quot;pumpkin ball&quot; (what it's call in tennesee) which is pretty much fool proof.

    didn't read anything about a note. her being in the house could result in it being investigated as a &quot;violent death&quot; which would probaly cause an autposy to be needed to close the death as a suicide.

    Yeah, shooting in the face would make me think there was a lot of hatred there, whether it was self hatred or not remains to be seen eh?
