So sorry the the child

[neverevergiveup]

So sad. That child deserves the best home.

Florida sheriff's deputies who left their six-week-old son orphaned when they killed themselves were 'joy-filled first-time parents': Friends say they don't know why father, 24, took his own life before heartbroken girlfriend, 23, commit suicide

This is a odd case, I suspect the wife said or did something (adultery?) to drive him to suicide then she followed suit out of guilt.

Why? Where did it go wrong?

[Hot Tabasco]

I wonder if Clayton may have been suffering from PTSD.

[Bayard]

Really, no details?

I don’t assume suicide for two new parents with a six week old.

[Aevery_Freeman]

What a beautiful young couple and baby.

A great loss to the family, the Sheriffs office, Florida and the nation.

Prayers Up!

Yes, there’s certainly something odd about this. PTSD can come up suddenly and really knock people back. His wife probably felt very guilty about not having been able to help, or perhaps she felt she had done something (argued, maybe?) that pushed him.

Very sad in any case. I hope the baby has grandparents or other family members who can take him in.

It doesn’t take that much time for a reporter to get further details. This is just plain laziness.

Sumthin doesn’t smell right about this case.

They weren’t married. They were boyfriend/girlfriend.

[Treeless Branch]

Just like soccer players who die from heart attacks all of the time, parents of newborns commit suicide all the time too. It’s just that it never gets reported just like the soccer players.

[Tax-chick]

The father’s brother is currently caring for the baby, according to the article.

[dfwgator]

“Dozens of people spontaneously combust each year. It’s just not really widely reported.”

[wintertime]

Really?....Hm?......Like Jeffery Epstein, maybe they did not kill themselvess.

[Bigg Red]

Not his wife. It says girlfriend.

[JoJo354]

I’m with you on this. Something is fishy about the whole thing. Someone wanted these people dead.

[sausageseller]

Mmmm....
Child wasn't his?

[Getready]

.....and madness is in their hearts, while they live....another sad example...

[bgill]

That’s my thought.

At least the baby was spared.

[RinaseaofDs]

You should write books. Pretty cogent guess.
