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".
