GA - Twin brothers miss flight to Boston, found dead 24 hours later in Georgia mountains, 14 Mar 2025

It was at a graduate program at a state university in the US. The profession has a high suicide rate so I suppose they found it a worthwhile investment. I was very surprised it was not only offered but mandatory. It was very very valuable to me and im sure many others. I wish it were automatically included in undergrad education especially for freshman who are notoriously high risk. Why isnt it simply considered a pass fail required class? Considering the insane cost of tuition I think it should be included.

I so agree on both the relevance as well as necessity.

I find it interesting the girlfriend in Boston states she was shown a gun. I wonder how much time elapsed between being shown that picture and the actual suicides.

I sat with a young lady one day prior to her accessing a therapy session in public school, where I worked for 20 years. That young lady blew her head off later that evening, she drove out to a rural location by herself and that was that. I had no idea....and I'm trained....shook me to the core.

I also sat through an entire day's seminar put on by a Suicidologist. That was revealing. And along with that, I was a member of a regional Suicide Prevention Task Force comprised of LE, School Administrators, Counselors, Coroners, etc.

A good friend of mine who worked in the same school district as I, he was once asked by the Assistant Superintendent....."just how many at-risk students do we have?". His answer was one for the ages....he looked at her squarely and said "ALL OF 'EM".

We had a student run his car straight in to a tree at a high rate of speed. He was in to sports, had everything going for him, smart, good lookin', the works. His girlfriend broke up with and that was it.

Pressures on the "good" kids, those with straight A's, the one who vie for coveted seats in prestigious Universities....they're ones to watch closely.

Anyway, I've said a million times, the students are doing Othello, the adults are doing Hamlet....two different plays. Young people go to great lengths to keep the stuff of their "play" private. Great lengths.

Suicide is brutal. My sister in law, her daughter, hung herself from a basement joist, not too long ago. My sister in law is forever damaged, still struggling to find some semblance of peace with it all.

Brutal.

OK, not being “trained” but close to it. The three people sitting amidst a group in the restaurant, talking and telling jokes. We had the time of our lives, and the jokes were funny. Two of us went home to the families and the third, to his now quiet apartment, to attempt suicide in a horrible way. I don’t know how the person survived, tbh.

If I were alone talking to that person and missing it, I’d accuse myself of being emotionally dense. But there were two of us, with very different observation styles, and a huge group around. There were no warning signs. At all.

The article stated the gun was found between Naazir's legs, along with spent cartridges. That would imply he was last to die.

MOO

I thought Naazir would be the last to go. He was more social and “the leader of the two”, remember? Perhaps Quaadir told him that he didn’t want to be left alone in this world, not even for a minute. That solitary minute must have been very hard for Naazir.
