13. He Ended His Life In 1890 By Committing Suicide
Starting in the 1880s, Vincent van Gogh’s mental health began to decline. He not only spent a lot of time in the mental hospital, but he also suffered from depression, social anxiety, and possibly other mental illnesses. By the time July 1890 rolled around, Van Gogh couldn’t handle his life anymore. On July 27, 1890, Van Gogh walked to the wheat fields north of his residence at an inn in Auvers-Sur-Oise. He then shot himself in the chest. The bullet did not officially take Vincent’s life until 30 hours later.
