There are people who believe "assisted suicide" is a viable option to most likely temporary problems.
This troubled man left a wife and two children.
Selfish.
RIP.
That very elaborate and inventive storm-chasing vehicle, combined with a very specific, narrow fascination, albeit an apparently profitable one, leads me to wonder about manic-depressive disorder. The vehicle and the storm chasing were his mania. The suicide was the final manifestation of his depression.
Chemical imbalance, insufficient treatment of a disorder that he likely inherited.
Such a pity, for the larger world due to the loss of such specialized brilliance, but especially for his wife and children. What could possibly ever seem so bad as to do this to them, let alone himself? I’ve had bouts of depression myself, and for the life of me, can’t ever envision taking my own life.
I’d pray for his soul if I believed that would do any good, but I don’t. So, I’ll pray for comfort for those he left behind. God bless them, they’ll need it.
