Remember this Republican politician?
Wiki snips:
Robert Budd Dwyer (November 21, 1939 – January 22, 1987) was an American politician.
...
He was found guilty on 11 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, perjury, and interstate transportation in aid of racketeering, and was scheduled to be sentenced on January 23, 1987.[4] On January 22, Dwyer called a news conference in the Pennsylvania state capital of Harrisburg, during which he fatally shot himself with a .357 Magnum revolver in front of reporters. Dwyer's suicide was broadcast later that day to a wide television audience across Pennsylvania.
