I suspect that it's possible that eventually evidence will emerge that innocent mismanagement...or criminal activity...played a role in whatever problems the company may have been having.

Attempted suicide draws the death penalty, but a successful suicide will only get a life sentence.

Im sorry that he ended his life. Im thinking that he made a big error in running his business. You are supposed to remove the money you have loaned the business so that you remove the risk in running the business. Once youve remkved your mkney, it doesnt matter in the end if the business succeeds or fail. Yiu can make far better objective opinions when your money is not on the line.

I have an incurable Blood Cancer. 12 Years after my Diagnosis and I am still here.

It is treatable, just not curable.

Did your Friend do this decades ago? The treatment options have been coming fast and furious for the past 20 years if not longer.

Very sad. We watched our Friend buy into all that Holistic nonsense instead of getting proven treatment for Breast Cancer. All that money she wasted, all the false hope and it ended up with her dying a terrible death from the progression of the Disease to Bone Cancer.

They sell these at the dollar store. I've had a few and they are tasty. The mystery meat question keeps me from buying any more of them.

Since my own husband died the same way, the man’s family has my empathy.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but the thought occurred to me: why would your husband do that to you? What in the world caused him to commit suicide?

I'm sorry to pry, but I just want to understand. I understand if it's too recent or personal for you to answer. It's just so heartbreaking to imagine you being put in such a position, and having to pick up the pieces...

Depression is a terrible disease, and its effect on people is sometimes inexplicable.

I agree, but probably from a different angle. I’m an agnostic, but see suicide as the greatest betrayal to my ancestors, relatives and family (wife, kids, grandkids). It robs everyone and the future of the contributions that a person could have and should have made. It’s self-murder, in fact. It robs everyone just like a murder. The impact of a suicide is possibly even greater on family than murder as it seems like a personal rejection to all involved and affected. It’s just a terrible thing.

Thank you for your kind thoughts and prayers.

I am very fortunate. I was given 10 to 15 Years Survivability when I was diagnosed based on the Treatment Options at the time.

I’ve been through four (three Month long) rounds of Chemo Treatments throughout the years and now my Blood Work is better than it’s been all this time. I contracted a second form of Leukemia called MDS but so far it isn’t affecting me whatsoever. Keeping the fingers crossed on that one.

Almost bought the Farm a few years ago when my Immune system took a dive. Ended up with multiple Lung infections and Pneumonia. After exhausting other Drugs that didn’t help, they gave me Plasma Infusion Therapy which luckily did the trick.

Did I mention that I love Big Pharma? #;^)

I have no complaints. I’m the luckiest guy walking.

I’ve had those too including the vegetarian pie. It never dawned on me that that must be the company and yes, at dollar tree. They are okay.

A suicide is a crime.


It is NOT a crime.
