ZAGREB A Croatian policeman and his fiancee have survived a suicide attempt that included poisoning by gas, sleeping pills and a gunshot to the temple, state news agency Hina reported on Monday. The policeman and his girlfriend, bent on ending their lives together, shut themselves in a car, took handfuls of sleeping pills with alcohol and hooked up a hose to the car's exhaust pipe.
The attempt failed and the dazed policeman took his gun and fired through his right temple. The shot did not kill him but at that point his girlfriend gave up and called an ambulance.
