Her husband shot her in the face and then turned the gun on himself.

He is now in prison.

Epic fail.

I am reminded of Jimmy Carr's joke about wanting to get a face transplant from a dead person so he could turn up to the funeral saying, "Woooooo!!!!!!!!"

I suppose you can't be picky when you need a face but they could have chosen a better one.

I absolutely admire her courage, really makes me think how small my worries are in comparison to hers, I hope this transplant really works out well for her.
