Dipendra of Nepal

Dipendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev (Nepali: श्री ५ महाराजाधिराज दीपेन्द्र वीर विक्रम शाह देव) (27 June 1971 – 4 June 2001) was King of Nepal for three days from 1 to 4 June 2001. For the duration of his brief reign, he was in a coma after shooting his parents King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya, other members of the royal family, and ultimately himself, in an event known as the Nepalese royal massacre. Crown Prince Dipendra was named as the perpetrator by the official investigation, although the lack of a trial and unanswered questions about the incident have led to ongoing speculation. Upon Dipendra's death, his paternal uncle Gyanendra succeeded as king for his second reign.
