Ok, I'll be the first ?

 

Did he shoot himself and then place the gun on his chest ??

I would guess the obvious suicide shot would be a temple one, so hard to see how the gun landed on his chest !!!

The maid was cleaning up the mess. Can´t have things laying on the floor when you get a visit from the police. Nice and tidy. 

In reality, though. I do think you have a point.

I don't know how many times you have successfully committed suicide but each time I have, I have pointed it at the roof of my mouth and the recoil has placed the 9 milli just nicely onto my chest...

 

Luckily enough this tme I have been reincarnated as a squid that can use a computer .....

As a squid? I'd think an octopus would be more adapt at typing - they are fast at 80wpm, (worms per minute)
