I thought I'd create a thread on news suicides which I'll call TRAVELERS. A space where all of us forum members (from your respective countries) can update with the latest passengers of this great train called freedom.

I think in general, that's a really good idea. I have a morbid fascination with reading about those stories. I'll share one that's been in the news here in the US lately.

Warning: this is about a 14-year-old so I was reluctant to share because I wouldn't say he's on his path to freedom. However, it is talking about AI and how it gives parents a new reason to worry about their children.

Tragedy in the province of Salerno: 36-year-old found dead at the shooting range

Tragic discovery of a 36 year old at the Eboli shooting range. Investigations are underway to clarify the causes of death

Yesterday afternoon, the lifeless body of Salvatore Gallo, a 36-year-old from Pontecagnano Faiano, was found inside the Acqua dei Pioppi clay pigeon shooting range. A discovery that has dismayed the clay pigeon shooting enthusiasts who regularly frequent the facility. The initial investigations, entrusted to the Carabinieri of the Eboli Company, point towards the hypothesis of suicide. However, the magistrate on duty ordered an autopsy to definitively clarify the causes of death. The medical examiner, Luigi Mastrangelo, will carry out an in-depth assessment to exclude any liability of third parties.

i wonder what drove the poor kid to be online so much in the first place, ive used cai before and she isnt entirely wrong but i dont think well adjusted people who arent lonely or have other issues they would like to escape to get addicted to it easily. idk if saying this is out of pocket or something but i see a few articles blaming x or y for a childs suicide then calling for action on one isolated issue, but it always looks like there is a bigger story. either way hope he is resting in peace, it sucks people feel more trusting of bots than family and friends but i see why people get so withdrawn, he said he didnt want to be reattached to this reality.

I sometimes wonder too. But I have never heard or read a story in the news about sn being used.

 

[Wendigo]

I'm not sure if everyone feels the same way I do. I don't understand the need to make people's deaths public (journalists). It's the pain that makes someone want to disappear—what's the need for that? They just wanted to stop the pain, to rest, and to close their eyes forever.
This is not a critique of the OP, but rather of the lack of respect some journalists have regarding privacy.

Veterinarian commits suicide with a drug for animal euthanasia. «He no longer wanted to put down the dogs of "capricious rich people"»



The 35-year-old, John Ellis, worked in a clinic in Winchester and recently had repeatedly complained to his mother about his discomfort linked to the requests of some of his clients, which were ethically far from him

"There's someone who says they don't want to pay to help their animal and they're sitting out there with a brand new car; other people really have financial difficulties and would do anything to save their animals. He found it destructive", are the words spoken during the hearing by the mother of John Ellis, a 35-year-old veterinarian who committed suicide with a drug for the euthanasia of animals.

The vet committed suicide by deceiving a nurse at the clinic into giving him a very strong drug used to kill large animals. Requiring it to euthanize a friend's dog, Ellis intended to commit suicide and inject the substance into himself through an IV. And that's exactly how he was found, in his friend's house after having given himself an injection. The rescue was useless. Tina Ellis, the young man's mother, told the hearing that her son complained too often: "He said 'The owners wait too long to intervene, they didn't ask for help early enough for things that could have been very simple.'" The other factors Tina Ellis, as reported by the Daily Mail magazine, said that her son's life had become stressful; but they could never have imagined a similar epilogue. The boy worked at Anderson Moores Veterinary Specialists and often slept in his car to avoid having to suddenly run out during the night for an emergency when he was on duty. Furthermore, he had cheated on his partner of 12 years, which continued to torment him.

The 66-year-old who attempted suicide did not make it


He died during the night at Mazzini. He was found dying in the courtyard of his home in Notaresco by his daughter

NOTARESCO – The 66-year-old from Notaresco did not make it after he attempted suicide on Sunday in his home in the Silvetta district, in Notaresco, by shooting himself in the head with the gun to kill the pigs. His condition was desperate and the doctors at the Mazzini hospital, where he died during the night, did everything to keep him alive. The man was found by his daughter in the courtyard of the house. He had recently been widowed and many attributed his gesture to the state of depression into which he had fallen after the death of his wife.

He throws himself under the train, boy dies at 18: illnesses among passengers in shock.


A dramatic morning today in Mantua. Shortly before 8.30am, an 18-year-old young man was hit by a train along the railway line heading to Monselice, near the intersection between Viale Montenero and Viale Gobbio. The convoy stopped only further ahead, near the Viale Oslavia level crossing.
According to initial reconstructions, it appears to be a voluntary gesture. The railway and local police officers intervened at the site of the accident (who regulated traffic in the area), together with the fire brigade engaged in rescue and safety operations.
A backpack was found a few dozen meters from the point of impact. Investigators are trying to ascertain whether it belongs to the victim or to another person. The tragedy shocked the passengers of the convoy involved: some of them felt ill and were assisted by the 118 doctors.

The train left Monselice at 6.39am with an expected arrival in Mantua Sant'Antonio at 8.35am. Rail traffic was immediately blocked, with four trains on the line cancelled. The authorities continue to investigate to clarify all the details of this heartbreaking story.

Typical Italian case, where they want to pass off a suicide as murder.

Larimar Annaloro, the prosecutor: "She committed suicide, the data says so" / But the mother: "I'm sure they killed her"
Suicide, not murder: the prosecutor's office for minors in Caltanissetta has no doubts about the death of Larimar Annaloro, the 15-year-old found hanged in Piazza Armerina (Enna). During the press conference, prosecutor Rocco Cosentino took stock of the situation regarding the investigations, explaining that from the data in his possession this thesis prevails, on the other hand the hypothesis of incitement to suicide still stands. Regarding the dynamics of death, no hetero injuries induced by the examination of the body were found, but the results of the autopsy are awaited, expected in three months.

The victim is an unidentified man. The driver tried in vain to brake

A man, still unidentified, died at the Ascea train station after being hit by a passing train. The victim was near the platform. The causes are not yet clear: investigators are evaluating whether it was an extreme gesture or an accident. Although the driver tried to brake, the convoy was unable to stop in time. Railway police and medical personnel intervened on site and were only able to confirm the death. The event caused slowdowns on the railway line, while investigators analyze the surveillance cameras and collect testimonies to clarify the dynamics of the event.

The spiral of death does not stop, suicide in prison in La Spezia: 44-year-old prisoner dies

«Spezzino, 44 years old, detained for resistance, violence and threats to a public official and awaiting first trial, had hanged himself in his cell on November 12th. Immediately rescued, he was taken to hospital near death. Yesterday afternoon his suffering ended. Thus, 83 inmates have taken their own lives since the beginning of the year, while 7 belong to the Penitentiary Police, in a spiral of death which, evidently, there is no concrete desire to stem." This was stated by Gennarino De Fazio, General Secretary of the Uilpa Penitentiary Police. «There are now 16 thousand prisoners in excess of the available places and more than 18 thousand units missing from the needs of the Penitentiary Police, which is also poorly organized and poorly equipped. This alone should induce the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, and the entire Government to take tangible and immediate measures. Instead, we are witnessing the usual theatrics of politics and, at most, the reading of homework with misleading numbers during parliamentary questions, as most recently yesterday afternoon in Montecitorio - adds De Fazio - In 2022, a sadly record year, there were 84 suicides" .

The twin brothers committed suicide: - Unthinkable

Dad's story about the twins Elias and Benjamin who took their own lives is unimaginably heavy.

The beautiful Hamarøy cemetery, May 2019. A coffin with an urn on top, framed by a wreath of flowers. The two buried are called Elias and Benjamin. They are twin brothers. Elias died in November of the previous year. Benjamin in May. They were 23 years old. This is how Lars Petter Kjær opens the story of his sons Elias and Benjamin. He and the boys' mother, Marit, had the most unimaginable experience. Losing children to suicide. They lost not just one, but two. Now Kjær has written the story of his two sons. Start at the beginning: when the boys were delivered by caesarean section in the old Rikshospitalet in Oslo. One was named Benjamin before he was even born. He wasn't getting enough nutrition and weighed only 1,500 grams. As a child he had to undergo several heart surgeries. His brother Elias was more robust.

- The unthinkable has become reality Four years have passed since Elias took his own life in November 2018. In the time that followed, Elias' twin brother Benjamin fell into deep mourning. He didn't get out of it. He also took his own life six months later. - We thought the unthinkable had already happened here. It would be too terrible if it were to happen. But that's exactly what happened then, says Lars Petter Kjær. The whole family was in shock and Kjær felt what he describes as "a bottomless void".

USA: in California a gunman kills five people and commits suicide

The United States is definitively stuck in a wave of violence linked to the circulation of firearms. A gunman killed five people in California before turning the gun on himself.

The information comes from the local police. The events occurred in Bakersfield, a small town located about 150 km north of Los Angeles, the capital of California. Among the victims of the suicidal gunman, also his own wife. Kern County Police Officer Mark King: "We have six people deceased. One is the suspect and five others are victims." The man in uniform then mentions "a possible drama of domestic violence".

I think it is way too extreme that these people feel the need to kill others too. No reason for it. Just kill yourself if that's what you want. unfortunately we have so many shootings here that the killing and suicide go hand-in-hand with many of them.

Engaged couples kill themselves by throwing themselves under a train. In a video they explain: «Our love is opposed by cultural issues»


Live together or not at all. CJ and Mert died hand in hand, struck by a moving train at Borehamwood railway station, in England. The two engaged couples feared that their relationship would never be accepted by her family and so "they decided to be together in a different place". Charleigh Disbrey, 15, CJ as her friends called her, and Mert Karaoglan, 18, had only started dating a month ago: she was English, he was of Turkish origin, they believed that the relationship would be hindered by "cultural issues". They thought they had found their soul mate and didn't accept living apart: and so they decided to make a suicide pact and die by throwing themselves under a train. Last June 17th they made a date with death at the station.

I think it is way too extreme that these people feel the need to kill others too. No reason for it. Just kill yourself if that's what you want. unfortunately we have so many shootings here that the killing and suicide go hand-in-hand with many of them.

It's true, but we don't know the dynamics. Even here in Italy it happens that mothers take their children and throw themselves into the river together. The worrying thing is that people justify these gestures by stating: "he certainly couldn't leave his children alone in the world". Well, I don't agree, I believe that despite the difficulties, children should decide for themselves when they are old enough to understand what is best for them.

Of course, six gunshots result in deaths, confirming the extreme lethality of firearms.

There would be no doubts about the voluntary gesture. No farewell notes or messages were found in the hotel room to explain the reasons for the gesture.

Ischia, elderly man commits suicide with a gunshot


The man was 80 years old and had a past as an employee in the municipal police and as a municipal councilor. The alarm raised by the neighbors, help was useless

The first to raise the alarm were some neighbors who heard the shot and immediately called for help. The police, carabinieri, traffic police and 118 health workers immediately arrived on the scene, with the latter unable to do anything other than confirm that the man had died. According to some testimonies, the suicide man, known and appreciated in the village also for his funny and ironic ways of acting, seemed more absent for some time and this suggests that a form of depression may be at the origin of the gesture. The deputy prosecutor on duty will have to decide whether to release the body or arrange for an autopsy.

An incomprehensible tragedy has shaken the Turin area, while a couple of parents died in the darkness of despair, two years after the dramatic farewell of their beloved daughter, a young 28-year-old. The girl, in an act of unbearable anguish, took her own life in 2022, after finally finding the courage to reveal to her parents the horrors that had tortured her since childhood: abuse suffered by a relative, a dark secret which had enveloped them in a deafening silence. For years, no one had noticed the torment that consumed his soul. At just 23 years old, the young woman was overwhelmed by panic attacks, anxiety and insomnia, an overwhelming wave that forced her to relive the traumas of a past that seemed to have no end. Only in 2022, with a shattered heart, did he reveal to his parents the cause of his profound discomfort, but unfortunately, the weight of his pain had become unbearable and he decided to hang himself. A few days before that final act, Alessandro Giacoletto, a 64-year-old family doctor, and Cristina Masera, a 59-year-old pharmacist, had opened their hearts to a local newspaper, sharing the devastation that had struck them. But on December 9th, their life took a tragic turn: found in their car, in the garage of their home, in an embrace of desperation, they both succumbed to the same shadow that had taken their daughter away by inhaling the exhaust fumes of the car.Cristina fought for nine days, while Alessandro passed away on December 23rd. "Suicide" is not the word they wanted to hear, for them, the real killer was the horror that had taken their girl's life away. "Whoever ends his life due to violence is the victim of a psychic murder, and his tormentor is a murderer", they declared, bringing to light a heartbreaking truth that continues to echo in the souls of those who remained. A story of pain and unbridgeable losses, a silent cry that no one seems to hear.
