Ricardo López's Suicide
In 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 final part of a video diary.
Content
The diary features 21-year-old Ricardo López (completely 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 pistol on his head and shouted: "This is for you!" killing himself with a revolver. Ricardo's corpse collapses on the floor, and his head bleeding profusely on the floor until the camera stops filming.
