A Nebraska teen accidentally shot himself in the head while posing with a gun in an internet chat room.

Shocked users looked on in horror as 19-year-old Trevor George pulled out a revolver, held it up to his head and pulled the trigger in early March, killing himself.

After a three-month investigation, Bellevue police concluded on Monday that the horrific death was an accident not a suicide.

Several people who were in the Tinychat video chat room George was logged into when he died told police the Bellevue University student had put a gun to his head before as a joke but it was never loaded.

'He has a history of simulating this event,'  Capt. David Stukenholtz said.

'This time, for whatever reason, there was a bullet in the chamber of the gun that he did not get out of there.'

Police said most of the people in the chat room didn't know George's real name or where he lived, making it difficult for them to report the shooting or call for help.
Online, the teenager went by the aliases TZIF and Jesus, according to 6 News.
