what was his name? I'm 25 and went to abington senior highschool. I probably knew him, but did not hear about this...
and honestly, you're not going to answer my question so I'll come out with it since i've nothing to hide and this happened while I was young. The only thing I remember about my mom's uncle was his house and the summers parties. He shot himself in the head as he was painfully dying of brain cancer. It got bad enough despite the medicine he had enough. There was no chance of living through it... I believe he had a wife and kids when he did it... not sure if they were together or not though...
all things considered though... I would have done the same... though not with a gun. To be a burden on my family while I slowly and painfully die... not my style...
his actions were not a cry for help, not an attempt at attention... selfish? not entirely that either... perhaps the choice of how he went out didn't leave the most beautiful of corpses... but his family could rest knowing he wasn't going to suffer until he died either by the brain cancer or by his choice of death.
