My neighbor committed suicide early this morning [View all]

This was his second attempt w/i a month. After his first try, he was not living in the house, but apparently he arrived there in the wee hours and decided to stab himself in front of his wife and stepkids.

I had been wondering if he had been getting the help he needed.

This country seriously needs universal health care... including mental health coverage.

Mom and the adult kids were not let back into the house once the police arrived. I don't know where they are or if they even have clothes or a toothbrush, or what has happened to the 3 dogs... or how to be of help.

(We can't take their dogs, as our 3 dogs are not socialized.)
