Persitence pays off

Persistence finally paid off for a man from Godfry IL who wanted to kill himself.  He shot himself in the head five times and twice in the chest with a 22–caliber handgun.  When that didn’t do the trick, he jumped in his van and drove to the Clark Bridge in Alton.  He parked his van and jumped off the bridge into the Mississippi River.  His body was recovered and an autopsy confirmed that he dies from drowning.  Complete story.
