He died in prison for shooting an actress who he’d brought to his mansion a few hours before. He made a habit of firing off guns and once held one to the head of Debbie Harry and a few other people in the arts.

Yeah, not sure if it was actually premeditated, but it certainly fell under "you knew this was gonna happen one day and yet you insisted on being a nutcase" culpability. Murder by not caring at the very least.

Not that I had heard about him previously, but I was surprised to learn that there is still a Turkish Sultan in waiting...and that Erdogan brought him in from Syria...
