Did know this man, well new him after the police shot him in the head. He was a run of the mill male schizophrenic with one of his voiced that was a female voice. Schizophrenics are in general not into suicide unless one of the voiced is from the opposite gender. See, as he told me, this female voice was suicidal because the voice felt trapped in a male body. So one day, he was going to take his own life. He left home so there would not be any blood at his parents place but they called the police about his actions. There was a police chase before he could kill himself. He was trapped and the police were behind him. He got out of the car and pointed the firearm to his head. The police disarmed him by shooting him three times. Once in the wrist, once in the shoulder, and the last one right between the two haves of his brain. 

He did die three times on the operation table, but they left the bullet in his brain and just patched him up for surgery to take care of the lose of bone in his forehead. But, the police had to make a rational reason for shooting him in the head by charging him with a crime. Since he was under arrest, the police department did not want to spend the added cost to place a mental plate for the huge whole in his skull. If you look at it, you can see the broken bone under his skin. In fact, only skin cover the whole and it is laying right on top of his brain. it is such a large whole, you can see the two haves of his brain. From time to time he will place his finger and press down on his brain. They punish him for this action, as it could damage his brain. The size of the whole is around two inches.

True, he was charged and they understood if he went to trial he would be declared mentally ill and released. So they just sent him to a mental hospital, and there he lives. After being there for 18 months, he will be released and the charges will be dropped. The feeling is, if they try him he would be released as mentally ill. If they just keep him in a state mental hospital for 18 months, then released he got some for of punishment.
