I wonder why this didnt happen in this case?

I dunno. She's 32. He's 67 and a certifiable nutjob. Yeah, I wonder, too.

Her story keeps changing. Earlier, Rocky Mountain News had a report quoting her as saying she heard the phone line click off and that she DID NOT hear any gunshot at all. That same report said she and other family members gathered 'round the table for drinks while his dead body was still there. Weird stuff.

This is the most celebrated suicide I've ever seen.

You should see some of the comments about him on other threads. Some Freepers seem to think he was a genious.

Who is honoring him?

Plenty were. I can only guess they're burned out by now. The guy's been dead for almost a week. If you're interested, click here and scroll to the bottom for the earlier threads.

Ha. That's funny. I love it when public money is not wasted. That so rarely is the case.

My comments on this clown would get me another 36 hour timeout so I'm going to move on.

Let's see here . . . HST was 67. New widow is 32. HMMMMMM. (I'm sure it was a love match.)

I knew an old retired US Navy guy, 79, who married a 25 year old. Oh well, at least he was smiling.

"He wanted to leave on top of his game. I wish I could have been more supportive of his decision," she said. "It was a problem for us."

Blaming herself for not being SUPPORTIVE of his desire to kill himself? YIKES! Of COURSE it would be a problem--what wife would WANT her husband to off himself?
