Afrikaans singer and actor G Korsten died in his Wilderness home in the Western Cape on Wednesday when he shot himself in the right temple. Police spokesman Sergeant David Mosola said Korsten, (70) got up to make his wife a cup of tea. The singer apparently took a 7.65mm pistol, walked into the kitchen and opened the back door of the house. His wife heard a shot and when she went to investigate, she found her husband lying on his back. She ran to neighbours for help and they alerted the police. Mosola said foul play is not suspected and police are trying to find out why the singer took his own life. An inquest docket has been opened.
