Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

‘Mexico’ was a small part of a botanic garden, planted with cactuses, surrounded by water. I tried to crawl through a plastic tube through the water, but the pressure of the water was too heavy and it didn’t work.

BirthFactDeath (-) Friday 26th of October 1984 40 years ago He Chose a Suicide Solution
Ozzy Osbourne fan John Daniel McCollum commits suicide by a shot in the head at the age of 19 in Indio, California, United States. McCollum had been listening to Ozzy Osbourne singing 'Suicide Solution' all day long. In a lawsuit McCollum’s parents claimed that there were hidden lyrics in the song that incited the teenager to kill himself. A California court dismissed the McCollums’ lawsuit in 1988, ruling that John’s suicide was not a foreseeable result of Osbourne’s song.
