ButterflyLion Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I read this a couple of days ago. Has anyone heard anything about his injuries? February 23, 2012 2:36 PM "Seinfeldd" actor shoots self in apparent suicide attempt Daniel von Bargen portrayed "Kruger" on "Seinfeld." Actor Daniel von Bargen, who played George Costanza's boss "Dr. Kruger" on "Seinfeld," shot himself in the head in what appears to be a failed suicide attempt, police say. Montgomery police Chief Don Simpson says the 61-year-old actor called 911 on Monday morning after shooting himself in the temple at his suburban Cincinnati apartment. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was reportedly in critical condition. ... Officials said Thursday that von Bargen told the 911 dispatcher he was supposed to go to a hospital that day to have some toes amputated because of diabetes complications and had already had one leg amputated. He said he was feeling depressed before he shot himself. ...... Von Bargen appeared in four episodes of "Seinfeld" and played Commandant Edwin Spangler on "Malcolm in the Middle." He also had one-off roles on "Party of Five," "The Practice" and "The West Wing." http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31749_162-57383830-10391698/seinfeld-actor-shoots-self-in-apparent-suicide-attempt/ Link to post Share on other sites

Ugadawgs98 Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I remember reading that. He wanted to give up his life over his toes? It doesn't make sense to the sane. I would not classify it as "over his toes". Failing health is a huge source of depression for many people later in life. Link to post Share on other sites
