Question

What was the name of the guy who shot himself on the titanic after he had shot another person ?

Answer 1

Go to wikipedia's report on The Titanic and spend a little time on the passenger list.  It lists everyone and what is known or guessed to have happened to them.  I believe this was a first class passenger.  Oh, there's a crew member on the crew list who is interesting because he survived the full five hours in the icy water.  Only one did.  

LOOK AT THE CREW LIST!  The other reply reminded me there was an incident with someone trying to crowd into a lifeboat and a crew member.  It happened, but not to the one that did it in the film who was the ship's First Officer.

Answer 2

The film was a fictionionalised account a true incident - the ship sank but  the murder did not happen.

The family of the Officer in the film who was portrayed shooting the passenger received compensation and an apology from Cameron and the film company for showing their hero ancestor as a murderer.

Answer 3

  It was a movie scene that NEVER happened, and in fact the family of the officer in the movie made serious complaints about the scene!

Answer 4

Actor Ewan Stewart played the role of 1st Officer Murdoch who in the movie committed suicide after shooting a passenger.

In real life, there were allegations that this officer had committed suicide before the ship had sunk, but none of those allegations mentioned any crew members shooting to passengers. It was testified that Murdoch was a true hero until the last minute when he stayed on his post filling up boats and saving people's lives. Murdoch is believed to have died in the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean like the majority of Titanic crew members. His body was never found or, if recovered, it was not recognized.
