i'm sure there's many people out there that have been stiffed by this bank have topped themselves and you'll hear nothing about it in the press.

I am more interested in what I am having for my tea tbh, why is this bloke relevant to anyone other than his family and friends?

Leaves his wife and kids to pick up the pieces.

That is disgusting, 5 star hotel in the current climate, Travel Lodge should be the venue of choice for bankers for a thrifty yet comfortable and clean suicide.

A suicide very likely to be down to money, perhaps he just couldn't stand to do without.

Well at least he had the decency to leave them alive, rather than shoot them, shoot the family's dogs, horses etc and set fire to the house.... No-one remember that?

Shame that whatever the reason for it is that it made him top himself.

Am I the only one here who feels sorry for him?

I think it's really sad when someone is that desperate that being dead seems like the only option that they can cope with.

mrtheedge2u2

I think you are the only person..... actually, no, I am sure martin is distraught as the guys family

No, it is a way of getting out of facing upto reality. Yes, very extreme, but if you marry and then bring kids into this world, you have a responcibility to look after them. Maybe I'm old fashioned, but whenever I hear of anyone taking their own life, I always think 'What a selfish ******!'.

Can't understand anyone who commits suicide. There is nothing that is so bad to warrant it. There's always someone worse of than you no matter what the problem is.

Im with you on that Sal, things must be so bad for him to consider that.

It was a quip at the tax payer bail out of the banks, I think it must have been lost on you

No real understanding of clinical depression then Chris

Lets hope you never suffer to the extent than many on here have, if you do and it goes untreated then you may be able view things from the same desperate and sad view point that the guy in the news story did....

Some say it's a cowards way out but I feel a bit differently and have nothing but pity for the poor guy who must have been so seriously ill to reach the decision to end his life.

PS When that depressed, your family will mean nothing to you, so to label his actions 'selfish' is naive to say the least.

Someone I know launched themselves off Beachy Head last week :-(
No real explanation, police tried to talk him out of it for 45 mins, they said they felt like they were getting through to him, he then turned and run.... Game over.


Why I dont know ??? Nothing in life can be that bad? He's free, but the family he leaves behind wont be having a Merry Christmas.. Thats for sure !
