'SEINFELD' STAR
Survives Suicide Attempt
'I've Shot Myself in the Head'


Daniel von Bargen -- who played Mr. Kruger in "Seinfeld" -- is clinging to life in an Ohio hospital after shooting himself in the head Monday morning in a failed suicide attempt ... and TMZ has the horrifying 911 tape in which he calls for help.

Daniel tells the 911 operator, "I've shot myself in the head ... and I need help."

The operator asks if it was an accident -- Daniel replies, "I was supposed to go to the hospital and I didn't want to." Daniel says he's diabetic, explaining, "They were supposed to amputate at least a few toes."

The operator asks where the gunshot wound is -- Daniel replies, "I shot in my temple."

Law enforcement officials confirm they were dispatched to von Bargen's Cincinnati apartment complex a short time later -- and when they arrived, you can hear them on the 911 tape ... yelling at Daniel to keep his hands where they could see them.

Von Bargen -- who also played Chief Grady in "Super Troopers" -- was transported to a nearby hospital where he is currently in critical condition.

During the call, Daniel goes into even more graphic detail about his condition. Listen at your own discretion.

There's a video in the link

See even he knows that Seinfeld sucks.

Haven't you done enough already?!?!?!?

How did he not die?

No suicide for you.

FAX

His show won the ****ing poll! That was dumb of him to do that.

Should have shot Jerry instead. Seinfeld sucks and so does anyone who likes it.

I voted for the Simpsons, btw.

See what you haters have done!!

This reminds me of the line from the Kevin Kline movie I Love You To Death: "When a you get shot in a the head, it make a you think." LMAO

From about 5:10 on it sounds like he's getting a blow job.

We need more Seinfeld threads like we need a hole in our head.

He seems rather calm throughout the ordeal.

LOL

"Don't move."
"I'm not."
"Don't move!"
"I"M NOOOOT!"

Of all the reasons to takes one's life
The loss of a few toes would be way down on the list

Gonna be hard to top this.

Hopefully he comes out of this a Newman.

I was actually hoping it would be one of the main stars.

And how fitting it would be if the others showed up and mocked the person afterward:

Jerry: OH MY GOD, Elaine is getting blood all over my sofa!

Kramer: Isn't that the same spot with Pepe peed?

George: Dammit, she was supposed to hook me up with her hot friend! Now what the hell am I going to do with this extra ticket!

(and you people thought I never watched the show)

Did he report that it was like getting kicked in the head by Crazy Joe Davola? Maybe he should've been wearing a helmet.

He's lucky he didn't get tazered.

So, did anybody have this guy in the Dead Pool?

...this episode is prolly all over nothing...

Which is why I'm sure he reconsidered. Good thing he was a bad shot.

So you want to go out in a final blaze of incompetence?

FAX

Just because we don't think its the best thing since internet porn, we're haters? I don't hate Seinfeld. Just don't feel its the funniest show ever. BFD.

This guy was the sheriff in O Brother Where Art Thou.

Well, thats too bad. Anyone seen koko?

nice!

How about George?

.....liked his shades.

Eh, he wanted to go out on a high note.

He lost the feats of strength.

Sad.

Is this guy Rasputin?

Serenity now!?!

That's weird. I was just watching Mr. Kruger Seinfeld highlights a few days ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6kVBGeQeR4

His character was one of the funnier parts of the final season, IMO.

K-UGER!

He already had one leg amputated. I figure he's probably experiencing a slow death. I'm sorry for him.

I wouldn't say "star".

LMAO, a prime example of why I love this place.

He wasn't a star on Seinfeld, he was a star on Malcolm in the Middle, which should have won the poll.


Commandant Spangler

Meow that is too bad.

I'm calling shinanigans meow.

that's fine, you don't have to agree with the majority of everybody. I often don't, but in this case, Seinfeld is the greatest TV sitcom of all time.

Yes...great character, great show.

Whoa whoa whoa, who is calling this guy a "star"?

K Uger, nooo. :(

This.

There were only 4 stars of Seinfeld. Misleading headline. Ban him!

I clearly copied TMZ's headline. So take it up with them you ****ers!

Didn't he have a fake arm in Malcom
or was it real

I think we're getting a little loose with the word "star"

Well...that was certainly depressing. Poor bastard.

hummmmmmm ......

Should have just called George T-bone and none of this would have happened.

Operator - So your family lives down the street?

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP

Daniel - Yep

GAMMY'S GETTIN' UPSET

But yeah, this is really depressing, and I'm on the verge of running through the amazing stretch of episodes he appeared in on Seinfeld yet another time so that's going to be really weird. He was so incredibly fun to to watch on both Seinfeld and MitM, and a few days ago I was scrolling through basic cable while visiting family in TN and was shocked to discover that he was in the inimitable Kevin Costner classic The Postman. So sad to hear that he's gone through so many health issues that he'd rather be dead.

What's especially depressing is that his quality of life is going to be even worse now; an old neighbor of mine similarly tried and failed to kill himself (with weed killer, jesus christ :( ) only to go deaf, suffer renal failure, and eventually succeed in killing himself on his second attempt after what must have been a horrible year of knowing he was slowly dying anyways.

agreed. there's really no other option. there's no other show that compares. episode after episode of pure awesomeness. it's GOLD...pure GOLD.
calling the dude a star....eh....maybe Newman or Jerry's parents....maybe even Jerry's uncle...or Peterman....hell Putty even....but this guy?! I do wish him well though.

The jerk store called and they're running out of YOU.

A joke that's been made on literally every other website that's covered this story is a prime example of why you love this place?

(No offense, FAX.)

Seriously, Soup Nazi references are kind of gauche imo

QFT

I read it here first, I laughed. Sue me.

(No offense FAX)

It's a hot night. The mind races. You think about your knife: the only friend who hasn't betrayed you; the only friend who won't be dead by sunup. Sleep tight, friends, in your quilted chambray nightshirts.

Wow. I didn't remember that he was in both Seinfeld and Malcolm in the Middle. Those are two of the three best sitcoms in television history.

I'm looking up his history, and he's got good taste in scripts. He had parts in Silence of the Lambs, Basic Instinct, O Brother Where Art Thou, and Philadelphia at the movies, and had TV appearances in Seinfeld, Malcolm in the Middle, Ally McBeal, West Wing, and The X-Files.

Super Troopers was his best work.

If lack of love from the Sitcom poll could result in this, why didn't Fran Drescher blow her brains out too?

Only because Trailer Park Boys is a little obscure, Rainman. IMO of course.

If that show was on a network, it would likely be one of, if not THE, most popular show/s on TV.
