"R. Budd Dwyer. Claimed he was innocent and had been framed for the charge of ""bribe receiving.""  On January 22, 1987, Dwyer held a press conference where he said his last words, handed out 3 envelopes, said ""Please leave the room if this will offend you."" and shot himself...all on live T.V! Due to the fact he died in office his family got to collect full survivor benefits in excess of $1 million, had Dwyer gone to jail they would have lost everything."
