Experts believe that the popular story that Vincent Van Gogh killed himself is actually a myth. Supposedly, he was shot accidentally, and died shortly thereafter.
Vincent Van Gogh died from a gunshot wound suffered two days prior to his death. Although commonly thought to be self-inflicted, experts can not agree if it was an attempted suicide, or an accidental shooting from a local child. What is not debated, however, was Van Gogh's deteriorating mental health and mood, which is believed to be the cause of his supposed suicide attempt.
Van Gogh suffered from Manic Depression or Bipolar disorder. This is a mental illness which has a very high suicide rate.
Nobody really knows why people kill themselves except the person who is dead.
ANSWER 2: Yes.... This is mostly true. BUT he killed himself because 1, possible mental illness, and 2, he thought there is no point in living, and 3, because the above.
He shot himself because he was sad, and thought there was no point in living. He went to a field, then shot himself in the chest with a revolver. Then he walked back to the asylum, stayed untreated for 3 days, then died.
