Daniel tells the 911 operator, "I've shot myself in the head ... and I need help." The operator asks if it was an accident -- Daniel replies, "I was supposed to go to the hospital and I didn't want to." Daniel says he's diabetic, explaining, "They were supposed to amputate at least a few toes." The operator asks where the gunshot wound is -- Daniel replies, "I shot in my temple." Law enforcement officials confirm they were dispatched to von Bargen's Cincinnati apartment complex a short time later -- and when they arrived, you can hear them on the 911 tape ... yelling at Daniel to keep his hands where they could see them. Von Bargen -- who also played Chief Grady in "Super Troopers" -- was transported to a nearby hospital where he is currently in critical condition. During the call, Daniel goes into even more graphic detail about his condition. Listen at your own discretion.[/quote] The 911 call is in the link. He played Mr. Kruger on Seinfeld and Commandant Spangler in Malcolm in the Middle.

hope he makes it

God.. that's sad.

How can you shoot yourself in the temple and still be concious?

He failed to shoot himself in the head. I can't think of anything more painful, hope he survives.

Jesus, I loved him as Commandant Spangler in Malcolm and in Universal Soldier 2, hope he recovers and gets help. According to his 911 call he shot himself with a .38, the man is lucky to be alive.

[QUOTE=Cushie;34823025]How can you shoot yourself in the temple and still be concious?[/QUOTE] You have to be very precise if you actually want to commit quick suicide with a gun to the head.

[video=youtube;80HY8qWRkfA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80HY8qWRkfA[/video] One of my favorite moments with him.

Seems like he wanted to leave on a high note.

Sounds even scarier when the police are treating you like you are armed and dangerous whilst you're bleeding to death.

He probably shot part of his head instead of entirely

Didn't Commandant Spangler try to do this too?

[QUOTE=RagamuffinIIII;34823058]Sounds even scarier when the police are treating you like you are armed and dangerous whilst you're bleeding to death.[/QUOTE] Well, he was armed, and could be potentially dangerous. Once they knew he just fucked up suicide and was no threat to them they helped him out.

He tried to drink himself to death because he had two hooks for hands.

Why would he do that for a simple amputation..

[QUOTE=solid_jake;34823112]Why would he do that for a simple amputation..[/QUOTE] he said he already had his entire leg amputated i pretty sure, may have heard the video wrong

[QUOTE=beanhead;34823182]he said he already had his entire leg amputated i pretty sure, may have heard the video wrong[/QUOTE] why though

[QUOTE=viperfan7;34823239]why though[/QUOTE] He's diabetic, also he did say that one leg was already gone in the video.

[QUOTE=Squarebob;34823250]He's diabetic, also he did say that one leg was already gone in the video.[/QUOTE] kk

Wow. Spangler was a really entertaining character; very well acted. Hope for his sake that he pulls through.

[QUOTE=Dead Madman;34823026]He failed to shoot himself in the head. [B]I can't think of anything more painful[/B], hope he survives.[/QUOTE] That's actually the least painful thing I can think of, as the brain contains no pain receptors. Many people have been shot in the head, stabbed in the head and not realized it for days or even weeks.

[QUOTE=farmatyr;34823358]That's actually the least painful thing I can think of, as the brain contains no pain receptors. Many people have been shot in the head, stabbed in the head and not realized it for days or even weeks.[/QUOTE] I did not know that.

[QUOTE=farmatyr;34823358]That's actually the least painful thing I can think of, as the brain contains no pain receptors. Many people have been shot in the head, stabbed in the head and not realized it for days or even weeks.[/QUOTE] True but I'm sure everything before the brain would feel pain.

[QUOTE=Gprimeisback;34823403]True but I'm sure everything before the brain would feel pain.[/QUOTE] I've been stabbed through the wrist and it did not hurt. Dunno what the deal there was.

[QUOTE=Chickens!;34823441]I've been stabbed through the wrist and it did not hurt. Dunno what the deal there was.[/QUOTE] I took a nail through the foot and it hurt a lot and I bled all over the place though I guess the foot is more sensetive than the wrist so idk

i believe in you daniel

[QUOTE=KmScMT;34823542]i believe in you daniel[/QUOTE] Daniel doesn't :(

Oh damn, this guy was amazing

Such a talented actor. I grew up with both Seinfield and Malcom and some other movies and shows like a lot of people did, I really didn't expect this.

That's real sad. He's a great actor. I hope he pulls through and feels happier.
