Every suicide is tragic; this one even more so, as it was… accidental. Jon-Erik Hexum got quite annoyed when he found out that delays were expected in the filming of Cover Up. He had a pistol on him that belonged to his character and was loaded with blanks, so the actor recklessly put the gun to his head and… according to Entertainment Weekly, “The impact from the blast fractured his skull, driving a bone fragment the size of a quarter into his brain and causing massive hemorrhaging.” Even a five-hour surgical procedure wasn’t enough to save Hexum.
