Magnet pulled the gun from his waist band where the Lawyer was keeping it and it then discharged, striking him in the abdomen. He died at the hospital. He had been warned not to bring anything metallic into the room. Happened in Brazil.

Probably don't need a "note to self" on this one.

Does this fall under "happy endings" category due to the occupation of the idiot or "Darwin award winner" category?

I have a piece of a bullet in my abdomen that shows up in X-rays. I have forgotten to inform the technicians a time or two and they think it's some sort of flaw in the film until I tell them. Thankfully it's not a concern for an MRI. I have one coming up in a week.

You'll be asked if you have any foreign metal objects in your body in the questionnaire on the day of the MRI.
