Now I don't know if this one is true, it may be an urban ledgend.
They found a guy at a gun club , he was dead from a 50 cal MUzzel loader GSW to his head. He was still holding a bic lighter in his right hand. His head had extesive powder burns. It was either a suicide made to look like an accident, or the guy was looking down the barrel of his muzzel loader with a bic lighter as a light. The primer had been struck. I don't remember where I heard, or read this story. It was from a few years ago.
