A Nebraska teen accidentally shot himself in the head while posing with a gun in an internet chat room. Shocked users looked on in horror as 19-year-old Trevor George pulled out a revolver, held it up to his head and pulled the trigger in early March, killing himself.

After a three-month investigation, Bellevue police concluded on Monday that the horrific death was an accident not a suicide.

They also determined, after interviewing witnesses and reviewing computer records, that George was not dared or bullied into shooting himself.

Several people who were in the Tinychat video chat room George was logged into when he died told police the Bellevue University student had put a gun to his head before as a joke but it was never loaded.'He has a history of simulating this event,' Capt. David Stukenholtz said. 'This time, for whatever reason, there was a bullet in the chamber of the gun that he did not get out of there.'

Police said most of the people in the chat room didn't know George's real name or where he lived, making it difficult for them to report the shooting or call for help. 'Even if you knew his name, you would have to know where to send help,' Stukenholtz said.

Some of the witnesses contacted by Bellevue police live in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and elsewhere in the United States.

The deadly accident was eventually reported by a Florida man who knew George's real identity and had been logged into the chat room before the shooting.

He told police he had logged back in the following morning and found people talking about the devastating event.

George lived with his parents in the Omaha suburb of Bellevue.His parents were home at the time of the shooting, but did not hear the shot and weren't aware of their son's death until officers arrived to check out the Florida's man's report.

Users posted confused messages on the chat room after the shooting. One, who goes by the screen name 'Strawman' wrote: 'I talked to him in his last seconds. I didn't realise he was dying.'

Police said George was a star student and didn't appear to be depressed or suicidal。

【新聞快訊】2012年3月3日，美國內布拉斯加州一名19歲少年疑似在網絡視頻聊天時朝自己頭部開槍身亡。經過3個月的調查取證，警方認定這是一起意外事故，而不是自殺。

當地警長史戴西說，警方3月3日早上接到一名佛羅里達州男子報案。這名男子2日晚間也在同一個聊天室聊天，下線之后隔天早上再次登入時，發(fā)現其他網友都在談論該案。史戴西希望能夠找到目睹少年死亡的聊天室用戶，詢問案情。

警方3月6日表示，聊天室其他成員很有可能直接目擊了這幕駭人的景象。據稱報案男子認識死亡少年。接到報案后，警方趕往少年與父母在奧瑪哈郊區(qū)的住所，在少年的房中發(fā)現了他的尸體。調查人員正試圖查清此案到底是自殺還是意外。

史戴西說，事件據信發(fā)生在3月3日清晨3時，并表示不清楚少年死亡的過程是否被錄像。調查人員目前正檢查這名少年的電腦，希望找出當時在聊天室內目睹案發(fā)經過的網友。史戴西表示，在調查人員尚未查出這些聊天室賬號使用者的真實身分前，警方無法確定是否有目擊者。他說，“網站上有些人用的是化名，這些化名有時很難追查到任何東西，我們從沒有經歷過這么棘手的調查?！?/p>

而經過3個月的調查之后，該少年的身份被確定，他名叫特雷?！讨?，在學校里是一名明星學生，沒有任何抑郁和自殺的傾向。他經常在聊天室中表演槍擊自己，但槍中都沒有子彈。但3月3日凌晨他表演時，槍中裝填著子彈，他忘了將子彈取出，因此才釀成了慘劇。
