FBI Special Agent Melvin Horace Purvis aka Little Mel commits suicide by a shot in the head at the age of 57 in Florence, South Carolina, United States. Purvis died from a gunshot wound to the head fired from the pistol given to him by fellow agents when he resigned from the FBI. A later investigation suggested that Purvis may have shot himself accidentally while trying to extract a tracer bullet jammed in the pistol.
