On a humid spring day in 1966, in the Deep South of the United States, a desperate woman walked to the grave of her infant son carrying a 12-gauge shotgun.Angling the butt of the gun in the dirt with the barrel pointed upwards towards her, she reportedly removed her shoe and pressed the trigger with her toe and fell to the ground, where she remained until she was discovered the next morning.Her husband, June Austin, told coroners that she’d already attempted suicide three times. A court decided that this was a final successful attempt.
