He told the operator exactly where he was in the cemetery, and told her he was about to kill himself. She begged him to stay on the line, but he hung up. Cops found him right in that spot, dead of a gunshot wound to the head.

Here's one you don't see everyday or any day.  Nicolas Colsaerts was playing in the Volvo World Match play against Graeme McDowel, when he hit his tee shot into a hazard.
