Suicides all around
I’m obviously a little more sensitive to the word these days. It’s sad that even high profile figures are trying.
Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself by overdosing on pain medication, police said, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened.

Owens was hospitalized late Tuesday because of what his publicist said was an allergic reaction to pain medicine he was taking for a broken hand. Doctors reportedly tried to induce vomiting.
Here’s another random story of someone with similar circumstances to my brother-in-law’s last week suicide.
No Time to Say Goodbye : Surviving the Suicide of A Loved One ($US orders) is one of the few suicide specific books that is worth the read.
