Foreclosure Suicide

In some sad news, a man committed suicide after not being able to pay his mortgage. While that is definitely sad what is even more saddening is the fact the police had to be called in to "battle" him. I guess my feeling on suicide is one of: if you're going to do it, go for it but leave everyone else out of it. I'm sorry your life is so sad you feel that this is the only way out. Please though, don't kill yourself in such a way that it affects other people. Being selfish is fine, but do it within normal limits.

Anyway, I'm sure he is not a unique case. With record numbers of foreclosure I fear that we might begin hearing similar stories with more regularity.
