A game of Russian roulette is being blamed for the death of an Apopka, Fla., man Tuesday, according to WKMG-TV in Orlando.
Orange County investigators said Jeremiah Overstreet, 27, was watching the movie "Man on Fire" with his girlfriend at his home in Apopka.
After the scene in which Denzel Washington played Russian roulette with another character, deputies said, Overstreet put his own gun to his head knowing that there was one bullet inside the gun.
The gun fired and hit Overstreet in the head.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators are ruling the shooting an accident.
