Crown Prince of Austria Rudolf von Österreich-Ungarn born as Rudolf Franz Karl Joseph von Habsburg-Lorraine commits suicide by a shot through the head at the age of 31 in Jagdschloss Mayerling, Mayerling, Niederösterreich, Austria.


Rudolf first shot his 17-year-old lover baroness Mary Vetsera and then took his own life. There is no question that the depression-prone Rudolf and Mary had a suicide-pact because his father wanted them to end their affair.
