(AP) -- Authorities say a South Carolina teen died after shooting himself in the head while playing Russian roulette.

Investigators told the Aiken Standard that 16-year-old Brian Conner killed himself Tuesday in front of three people in a mobile home in Salley.

Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton says Conner took his loaded revolver, removed all the rounds but one, spun the chamber, put the gun to his head, then pulled the trigger.

Authorities say the witnesses urged Brooks to stop, but he kept doing it until the gun fired.

He died about an hour later.

Carlton says he ruled the death a suicide.
