Vincent Van Gogh shot himself with a revolver, which he had taken from the gun cabinet of his friend and physician Doctor Gachet, but then died in bed 2 days later. He had many mental problems and major stress disorder. Some people say that it runs through the family

Van Gogh actually shot himself in the stomach, which is a horrible slow way to kill oneself. It is also theorized that some of Vincents mental problems were brought on or worsened by the fact that all of the paints he used contained lead which can pool in the brain, and he was known to taste all of his paints to ensure they were up to his standards. After shooting himself in the stomach he dragged himself through a cornfeild back to the inn he lived and waited for help as a cry for attention yes he did GOD KILLED HIM
