Indeed it is and by far the nastiest moment of the relevant release imo. R. Budd Dwyer's '87 caught-on-camera suicide is another piece of footage that burns itself onto your brain, believe me.
Yours truly went through something of a Mondo/'shockumentary' phase in the mid-‘90s with the
Traces/
Faces Of Death installments, the
Death Scenes series (the book based on the first entry is an interesting read too.) and
Shocking Africa all on the viewing menu among others. Nowadays however, i only really have the time for the aforementioned
The Killing Of America. A dated effort but still endearing, enduring and entertaining.
Also, for some excellent reading material on the Mondo/'shockumentary' subject i recommend mid-'90s publication
Killing For Culture by Davids Kerekes and Slater. A fine tome and well worth tracking down.
