What Happens if Ball Drops By Itself After Being Hung

My object ball dropped in the pocket I shot at (I shot a slow ball) after I had turned away assuming it was hung at the edge of falling.

I lost the ability to shoot again even though it went in because I was told if you give up on a shot and look away your shot is over even if the hung ball then falls in.

Can where your looking really effect the game in this way?

This question relates to the following billiard rules:
