This seems the right place to put it, my best mate of 35 years or so lost his eldest son through suicide around 3 weeks or so, saw him on the Friday night, he was upbeat as usual, gone back to a job he loved, had a good old natter, few drinks make each other laugh, arrange to go see an elvis impersonator when it's all back to normal, Sunday morning put a message on Facebook saying by the time you read this I'll be gone, obviously we're all distraught, police involved and all that, gets found by some poor dog walker Monday morning, confirmed its him mid morning, I go round from work, just as the postie arrives, I take a parcel of him for my mate, who then opens the parcel to find it full of his sons personal belongings he wants his dad to have.
The second oldest daughter of my mate she's always struggled with her mental health took all this way harder than the rest of us, the pair of them were really close, always there keeping an eye out for each other, decided she couldn't go on, and a week later took her own life in the same way, in the same area, maybe even the same tree who knows, found this time by a copper who'd gone there after she'd been reported missing and been told the background.
He was 25,
She was 27 and leaves 2 young children behind.
Way to bring everyone down on a football forum, and some poor sod is going to have to follow this post somehow....
