A 57-year old West Valley City man has died after accidentally shooting himself in the neck.

It happened around 7:45 p.m Friday night inside a home at 4605 West Dunsmoore Way.

According to investigators, the man was drinking with friends, when he put a pistol to his throat and pulled the trigger.

Witnesses told police the man had removed the magazine from the gun, but apparently did not realize there was still a round in the chamber.

No charges have been filed in the case.

Investigators say it appears to be nothing more than a tragic accident.
