yea, stuff like that seems to happen, information seems to be more evenly distributed across the body than we supposed, or even kind of non-corporeal, like a ghost-in-the-machine type of situation...
or then this guy just learned about the circumstances of his donor's death and became obsessed by it and, ironically enough, did his best to make it happen in exactly the same way.
either way, interesting

or there's such a thing as co-incidence
especially in a place like that where there's ready access to guns and plenty of reasons to want to kill yourself

I calculated the odds of this happening and they are a gazillion to 1/5 of -1.

That's really quite odd.... but it was by using a gun and shooting yourself, not some more obscure method.

I wouldn't cite is as any kind of evidence in Cellular memory, just a series of events which, by themselves, are not outrageously unlikely. As Aengus said, suicide by shotgun isn't that uncommon in America.

Scientists say there are more than 70 documented cases of transplant patients having personality changes as they take on some of the characteristics of the donor.
Last month, a woman from Lancashire claimed her literary tastes changed radically following a kidney transplant.
Cheryl Johnson used to enjoy celebrity biographies and best sellers such as The Da Vinci Code.
But now she prefers classics such as Jane Austen's Persuasion and Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment.
:D ?

What everyone is missing is that both men were married to the same woman. It is nothing to do with the heart, she obviously drove them to it. It isn't even coincidence.

There's also a third option. She may be neither ugly nor depressing. Perhaps she's brilliant, calculating, and manipulative, and gets her kicks from convincing her husbands to commit suicide.

I thought there were guns in Europe. What about hunters. Like those english hunters with the wellies. Doesn't switzerland have shitloads of guns? I know theres isn't much hand guns but I thought there were rifles at least.

yea, but like i said and others too, it's much more likely a result of having to deal with the same woman and the same stories... this guy had some obsession in the first place to start dating this woman - or then she was just good looking and the obsession developed later. at any case, it's like a mass suicide, committed by the Association of Her Husbands.

Is it too late to have the heart implanted myself, or even a date with the widow, that I might have the strength to shoot myself in the fucking neck rather than put up with this fucking charade day in day out (good song by Bowie there)?

"Scientists say there are more than 70 documented cases of transplant patients having personality changes as they take on some of the characteristics of the donor."
The heart pumps blood around the body, it doesn't carry genetic information, which it would have to at the very least to make such behavioural parallels even a remote possibility.
Of course people's personalities are likely to change after a heart operation. The operation itself must be physically and emotionally daunting in the extreme.
