A 46-year-old Sacramento man, believed to have shot himself last week during what a witness called an act of Russian Roulette, died Friday in a Sonoma County hospital.

According to a Tuesday Mendocino County Sheriff's Office report, an autopsy determined that Raymond Harold Gage died from a brain injury caused by "a close contact gunshot wound to the right temporal region of his head."

The Sheriff's Office has classified Gage's death as a suicide, based on information from interviews, physical evidence and the autopsy.
