He did. He was playing with a prop gun on a movie set and shot himself in the temple with it. Even though it was loaded with blanks He did enuff' damage to kill himself. A WASTE

HE DIDN'T!!
On march the 31th 1993, Michael Massee, Funboy, was supposed to shoot Brandon with a blank during the filming of a flashback sequence. His prop gun fired a .44 caliber bullet instead, which struck Brandon in the abdomen. After 12 hours of emergancy surgery, Brandon died. No case has opened, it's been offically determend that Brandon's death was an accident. The flashback scene required Funboy's gun to be loaded, cocked and then pointed at the camera. Because of the close-range of the shot, the bullets loaded had real brass caps, but no powder. After the cut, the propsmaster ( not the armsmaster - he had left the set for the day ) dry-fired the gun to get the **** off, knocking an empty cartridge into the barrel of the gun. The gun was loaded with blanks ( which usually contain the double or triple the powder of a normal bullet to make a loud noise ). Brandon entered the set carrying a bag of groceries containing an explosive blood pack. As Brandon entered the room, Michael Massee (Funboy) was supposed to shot Brandon (Eric Draven), triggering the blood pack. Instead, the cartridge that was stuck in the barrel was blasted at Brandon through the bag he was carrying, killing him. The footage of the scene was destroyed without being developed.
- So he shot himself in the temple after this ???
