A Mexico City man died last week after accidentally shooting himself in the head while taking a selfie with a handgun, police say.

In a fit of alcohol-induced vanity, Oscar Otero Aguilar reportedly began taking photos he intended to post onto Facebook, but apparently in search of the perfect selfie, Aguilar grabbed hold of a .45 caliber pistol. Unsurprisingly, things didn't end well.

The 21-year-old somehow shot himself in the forehead and was immediately rushed to a hospital, but soon succumbed to his injuries.
