Seinfeld Star Daniel von Bargen Shoots Himself in Head ~ and Lives to Call 911 ((Graphic Call Included))

TMZ & DailyFix

The Hollywood actor, Daniel von Burgen, who played Mr. Kruger in Seinfeld, shot himself in the head Monday morning in a failed suicide attempt. He is currently in an Ohio hospital, clinging to life in critical condition. But, not only was von Burgen able to survive, he was able to nonchalantly call 911 for help.

“I’ve shot myself in the head … and I need help,” Daniel told the 911 operator, just as calm as he could be. The calmness of both von Burgen and the operator make the call even more eerily creepy.

When the blase operator asked if the shooting was an accident, von Burgen replied, “I was supposed to go to the hospital and I didn’t want to… They were supposed to amputate at least a few toes.”

So, unwilling to lose a few toes, Daniel decided taking his life with a .38 was a better option. When asked where exactly he shot himself, Daniel answered, ” I shot in my temple.”

Daniel von Burgen even sounds annoyed with the police department when they tell him to stay where he is and to show his hands. The bizarre 911 call was obtained by TMZ, but be warned — it is highly disturbing…

Just a humorously morbid  aside. At one point the 911 operator was asking for a phone number of kin… he then asked Daniel von Bargen if he remembered it “off the top of his head.” Bad choice of words.
