A couple people I cared about and a few I didn't know so well. But it always sucks. I was watching "Black Sheep" when my dad's friend Charlene called to tell us a closr family friend shot herself. I named my kid Benjamin before I knew that a childhood friend named Ben had killed himself while away at some art school in Boston. I actually called his mom to tell her I had a son. It was like two years before I called that he did it.

Yes. I also had a friend who able to stop someone by opening his neighbor's garage door. I wonder if the person was upset or grateful?

A close friend threw a terrific New Years party, was the happiest host ever and we all had a blast. I stayed to help clean up and left around 3:30 am. He laid down in bed and shot himself in the head soon after I left. I'm still dumbfounded when I think about it. He had everything going for him...or so it seemed.

A woman whose husband owned a produce junction not too far from where I live tried to take her own life and failed. Now this part is unbelievable. This happened about 20 years ago in Pennsylvania. At that time it was considered a crime to take your own life since it is murder of the self and murder is a crime. In connection with the above, after the woman recovered from her failed suicide attempt, she was arrested and brought before the court. The judge put her on probabation where she had to report to a parole officer once a week. Additionally, she had to see a "shrink" to cure her mental issues that caused her to attempt suicide. Last but not least, the woman has a criminal record since she tried to murder her self.

Unstable people need to be kept from getting their hands on firearms, and that is one way to accomplish it. They also need to get help which in this case was also accomplished by the courts mandating it. Now every public serveant that deals with her knows she has a troubled past. SOrry, I have no issue with the way they used to handle it

That is just awful unexplained sudden death No one ever found out why he did it. And of course everyone thought I knew since I was the last one at his house. He never said a word and in fact seemed in a great mood.
