Raptor, it's not your opinion that upsets me. It's that you have this unusual opinion and think it's right because it's what you believe, and you treat others as poor benighted sheep when they don't buy your theory. THAT'S what bothers me.

The 28 year old 'kid' certainly sounded miserable and depressed, and if he'd said he wanted to die, maybe something could have been done. Maybe not, because it's nearly impossibly to force another person to do what you want, even if it means you're saving his life.

The connection you're making is that because he said something about dieing earlier, he must have MEANT to do it, despite the evidence. Lots of people make comments about wanting to die, but it doesn't mean they plan on killing themselves.

You wrote, "It was suicide plain and simple". You haven't convinced me you know more than the medical examiner. You've made up your mind about the truth, despite the facts, and your 'evidence' takes a humongous leap of illogic to fit. You believe what you want. I'll believe the guy was depressed, and in trying to get through it, took some drugs that combined to kill him.

...and that's as far as this train runs.
