The following work contains content and material that some may find shocking. Reader discretion is advised.

On September 12, 1996, Ricardo López, a mentally ill obsessed fan of Icelandic singer, songwriter, composer, record producer, and actress Björk mailed a letter bomb rigged with sulfuric acid to Björk's residence in London to attempt to kill her, then returned home and recorded his final tape explaining his actions before committing suicide by gunshot in the last part of a video diary.

Content

The diary was titled "Last Day – Ricardo López", the tape features 21-year-old Ricardo López (utterly naked with his head shaved and his face painted red and green) returned his apartment in Hollywood, Florida. He then explained his actions by stating that he was "a little nervous now" and "definitely not drunk and depressed" while I Remember You - Björk plays in the background. As soon as the song finishes playing, he turns the revolver on his head and shouted: "This is for you!" triggering it after one second. Ricardo's corpse collapses on the floor, and his head bleeding profusely on the floor until the camera stops filming.

In Popular Culture

In the Adult Swim animated series Smiling Friends, López's letter bomb plot was referenced by the episode "Enchanted Forest". Pim and Charlie planned to help Mip deliver a handmade gift (with the bomb inside it) to the Princess of the Enchanted Forest, she opened it to reveal the bomb, which nearly killed the princess, Pim, and Charlie before she threw it out of the window.
