I knew college was hard...but:
On Thursday February 16, 2006 at about 10:00 pm UCPD responded to
the Lothian Residence Halls in reference to a report from staff of a
possible suicide. On arrival, Officers located the student in his room where
he unfortunately took his life by a hanging himself. The Riverside Fire
Department responded for medical aid and determined that the student died
prior to the officer's arrival. The Riverside Coroner's Office was then
called to the scene. UCPD and the Coroner's Office have completed the
investigation into this case and have also determined it to be a suicide.
I mean, holy s***! That's not the way to deal with issues

That is not very nice to say, he probably had some form of depression, not something to be joked about as i have once been down that road before, it is a very bumy ride, admins please lock this topic

He's referring to the investigators.
-
That's the impression I got of lordly's comment, too
-
i thought so too.
it's sad someone kills himself.. but those officers are just idiots
-
I admit that it could confuse you moogle. But,the other are right. I refer to the investigator since we only talk about them on the first post.. or almost...

In one of the class rooms, there's a sign that says, "Do not post 'part time work' advertisements or we will call on campus pigs"

Lets look at it this way people
He commited suicide, which will do more HARM than good now. Because his parents will now wonder if they did something wrong while parenting him, his little brother or sister (if they have one) will be without an older brother, a mentor, a guide, and thus will begin to worry about there own futures
But, to make matters worse, commiting suicide didn't solve ANYTHING at all, it just ended his life, a life where he could've accomplished a lot more IF he had taken the time to get some help
I to have been down that road, but I had enough of a brain to go to my councilor and talk to him about it, and thanks to that I got myself some help
So yes, it is STUPID to commit suicide, thinking that will solve ALL your problems, did this kid not bother to read news articles that clearly say "Suicide doesn't solve problems, it just add's to them."
I'm sorry if my view is out of hand, but thats how I've always viewed it. Thanks to him commiting suicide, his parents are going to continue to question themselves...
-
You are completely right. He probably had some form of depression, which is really sad... In a way, it wasn't completely his fault, if he had depression, well, actually it was his fault, but I bet there is a point that you lose your sense of reality and reasoning, and then, it's all downhill from there, sadly :( :'( .
CK9, did you go to school with this kid?
-
yes and no: yes, we both were going to UCR, no, I didn't know him
-
Officers can certainly be idiots... but then, it's their job to be thorough about things no matter how dumb it would seem. It is possible that the kid had a rival who made it seem like he hanged himself and the suicide would then have been a homicide investigation...
Of course, it didn't turn out that way.
Also haXtor, I don't think anyone on this forum takes suicide lightly... (actually, I don't think anybody does). I know I very much don't... I've been there before so I know what it's like (obviously I didn't succeed but I know that it's usually more than 'just depression').
-
I think almost everyone has thought about doing it. There have been a few times where I felt that I had served my purpose and that my existance was futile now, but then I remind myself that if it were true i'd already be dead
-
Thinking about doing something and actually attempting it are two very different things.
-
Yes, they are, and for most the mere thought is enough of a deterrent
-
Being a former fireman I happen to know that irrigardless of whether or not someone is obviously dead when you find them you have to make an official report and conclusion. This is done for official reporting purposes and no matter how retarded it is it is not the firemans fault they have to follow proticol.
-
isn't the word regardless?
*looks up the two possibilities*
irrigardless = no matches found
regardless = (adv.) despite that fact; (prep.) although one would tend to expect the opposite, given...
-
/me knocks CK9 about..
irrigardless of what u say,, ur still annoying :P
-
regardless of your attempts, you have faled to gain anything :P
-
Um, for those of you who don't know, the coroner must confirm any suspicion as to the time of death. And it must be stated as such in the police report. So no the officers are not idiots.
They are also required to call for medical assistance because there might be time to revive the person.
You may think this is a silly and useless practice, however it has saved a lot of lives. You can be revived up to 30 minutes after dying, albeit with risk of brain damage after the first 3 minutes without air.
