Here's what Wikipedia says:
 
Prinze suffered from 
*depression*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)>, 
and on January 28, 1977, shot himself with a small semi-automatic pistol 
after talking on the telephone with his estranged wife. His business 
manager, Marvin "Dusty" Snyder, tried to intervene, but Prinze shot himself 
in the head,*[6]* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Prinze#cite_note-5>and 
was rushed to the 
*UCLA Medical Center* <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UCLA_Medical_Center> to 
be placed on *life support* 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_support>following emergency surgery. 
Prinze's family removed him from life support, 
and he died at 1 p.m. on (correction from above) January 29. He was 22.

In 1977, the death was ruled a *suicide*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide>. 
In a civil case brought years later, a jury found that his death was 
accidental.*[7]* 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Prinze#cite_note-6>Prinze had a history 
of playing with attempts to frighten his friends for 
his amusement.*[8]*<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Prinze#cite_note-7>He 
had left a note stating that the decision to take his life was his alone.
