POLICE are preparing to summon an Internet figure over a video clip that convinced many watchers that he put a gun against his temple and shot himself on Saturday.

Thai gangster-turn-‘Internet Idol’ Makharin “Ne Wat Dao” Phumsaart was in a stable condition yesterday after shooting himself just above the right eyebrow and falling down. The action was broadcast live via Facebook to his 1.2 million followers.
