    from the linked article:

    An 81-year-old Australian man has shot himself dead with an elaborate suicide robot built using plans he downloaded from the Internet.
    …
    He spent hours searching the Internet for a way to kill himself, downloaded what he needed and then built a complex machine that would remotely fire a gun.

    Not that I want to off myself, but I’m dying to know who publishes killer robot plans on the interwebz. Some kind of do-it-yourself suicide site?

    Not quite what I expected based on the headline. And you can find plans for almost anything on the Interwebs.

    (doing my best Professor Farnsworth impression):

    “Good news, everyone, FUTURAMA’s suicide booths are now here…”

    I think it was technically a machine gun since it fired multiple shots.
