(S.D.)-Man Dies Of Shotgun Wound

PROVO, S.D. (AP) - Authorities say a Fall River County man has killed himself with a shotgun while trying to disprove a popular TV crime show.

He's identified as 55-year-old Earl Ellwanger Junior.

Officials say he accidentally shot himself in the stomach last week.

Authorities say Ellwanger had seen a CSI show in which investigators were trying to show that a woman couldn't have shot herself in the stomach, but he didn't realize that the shotgun he used was loaded.

Family members quickly called for help.

Ellwanger later died at Rapid City Regional Hospital.
