Suicidal friend - Page 4

Suicide is never the answer. I had a brother-in-law who committed suicide and it about destroyed my sister...and his best friend who found him.

He and my sister had been separated but hoped to eventually get back together. He had let a friend move in with him. This friend was cooking speed (meth, I guess) and my BIL let him because it helped him with his restless legs syndrome. Anyway, the DEA was onto the friend and busted them one day. After my BIL's parents bailed him out of jail, he went into his auto body shop on the property, clamped a shotgun in a vise, sat in front of it in his office chair and pulled the trigger using a string.

My BIL had called his best friend to come over. He put a note on the main door telling his friend not to come in...rather to call the police. Unfortunately, his friend used a different door and found him. Very messy from what I heard.

He had given into the threats of the people arresting him...tons of jail time and a million dollar fine, etc. He just couldn't stand the thought of it. For him, it seemed like the logical thing at the time, I suppose. To the rest of us, it was senseless and a waste.

I am of the opinion that there is always an alternate solution. But, I suppose it's different when you are the one it's happening to.
