Yesterday, Wednesday the 17th of April, 2019, the former president of Peru died after shooting himself in the head when police stormed through his front door to arrest him.

Former Peruvian president Alan Garcia shot himself in the head at his Lima home moments after police stormed in to arrest him for corruption charges
Alan Garcia, 69, was supposed to face questioning for alleged money laundering but was rushed to Casimiro Ulloa hospital in Lima after putting a bullet in his skull. As officers moved in to detain him, the two-time head of state said that he needed to speak with his lawyer and then shut himself in his room before a firearm blast rang out. The ex-premier fought for his life for around three hours, during which time he suffered three cardiac arrests and was resuscitated three times, before being pronounced dead.
