In his 2008 autobiography, Breaking Free, former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL star running back Herschel Walker claimed that after retiring from football in 1997, he had sat at his kitchen table and played Russian roulette with a loaded pistol.
Walker claimed that his aberrant behavior, which also included holding a gun to his ex-wife Cindy Grossman's head, was the result of a lifelong battle with Disassociative Identity Disorder, a condition formerly called Multiple Personality Disorder by the psychiatric community.
Russian roulette is a suicidal "game" in which someone places one or more bullets into a multi-chambered pistol, and then spins the chamber so that none of the "players" know which chamber holds a bullet. The player or players than pull the trigger of the gun. The game was prominently featured in the 1978 Oscar winner for Best Picture, The Deer Hunter.
