Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

On the night of 24 February 1852 Gogol burned some of his manuscripts which contained most of the second part of 'Dead Souls'. He explained this as a mistake, a practical joke played on him by the Devil. Soon thereafter he took to bed, refused all food and died in great pain nine days later.
(4 March 1852)

Mass murderer Omar Mir Seddique Mateen is shot dead after a three-hour standoff with police officers at the age of 30 in Pulse Nightclub, 1912 S. Orange Avenue, Orlando, Florida, United States. In three hours time Mateen shot and killed 49 people and wounded another 58 with a SIG Sauer MCX semi-automatic rifle and a 9mm Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol during a 'Latin Night'. At 2:45 a.m., Mateen called News 13 of Orlando and said "I'm the shooter. It's me. I am the shooter." He then said he was carrying out the shooting on the behalf of ISIS and began speaking rapidly in Arabic.
