a man was found in his milwakee home, nearly four years after his suicide. the man was lawyer, said to have unpaid bills, severe financial and family problems, and home that was about to be repossessed at the time of death. his close friends says that he was one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet and a great friend to have. they say there was no indication of suicide, although he was having a rough time after his mother died. it was a realtor who realized he did not pay any bills on his home, nor tried to clear up the pending repossession. when the realtor when to his home, his rotted skeleton was laying in the house. he had apparently shot himself. the reason why his body went so long without being found is because he told his friends and family that he was moving in late 2007. i just thought this was an incredible story. they say that suicidal behavior is often a cry for help. on the other hand, how about the people that no for a fact that they just want to commit suicide? how about people that go through great lengths to kill themselves without being stopped. after hearing a story like this, i feel like thoughts of suicide is more than just a cry for help. what do you think.

That is a rather horrifying story on many accounts and really it just underlines that sometimes people go to such lengths to just end it all. When people are rather serious about ending it all and there is no one around to stop them, they will go through with it. And there are some people who only make the illusion that they are trying to kill themselves, so they can get help in getting help. But there are people like this guy, who are stone cold serious about just ending it. There are times where they just think that the end is near and they don't want to be talked out of doing what they need to do. It is really awful when someone not only kills themselves, but goes right to the absurd links to make sure no one stops them. That really shows signs of someone who is depressed beyond belief and the fact that no one found the body for four years really shows the alarming extent.
