Alcohol, a camera phone and a loaded gun proved to be a fatal combination for 21-year old Oscar Otero Aguilar.

The Mexico City man had been drinking last week when he borrowed the gun. He reportedly waved it around while trying to take a photo of himself with it. The gun discharged and Aguilar suffered a fatal wound to the head.
