Heart transplant recipient dies same way donor did -- suicide

[froggierintexas]

I don't think the GBI should have been so quick to just rule this a suicide...I smell a skunk in the woodpile...[/quote]

Maybe the next wedding will be to someone from the GBI.....

Not for a minute (at least right now) do I believe foul play was not involved. How the heck do you shoot yourself with a SHOTGUN? That's a rifle...... You turn the thing around and point it at yourself, I would think it would be difficult to make the trigger work, unless you have some pretty long arms.

Also - husband no. 1 committed suicide also? I'm thinking Drew Peterson here.

In reading some of the posts it looks like maybe other things were going on in this man's life, but I find it extremely difficult to believe that if this man loved that woman, he would commit the same act her 1st husband did, knowing how that must of scarred her.......

Not computing in my brain.

Read my post #22, it's possible at his age that he had life insurance for quite awhile he was 69 years old, he would have to obtained policy before transplant surgery. Still think there's more to this story, but it will come out!!

Let's hope the policy was still in his first wife's name. You know how that happens........... sometimes in the heat of the divorce and the depression that generally follows it, you just seem to forget about taking care of that pesky paperwork

I don't know what to think! Wow! However, when I saw the photo of them...my first thought was...what is wrong with this picture?! She strikes me as the type of woman who wants it all and now. The very type that would be happy to "assist" in a "suicide" for money.

I don't know why GBI would pass it off so quickly knowing her first hubby committed suicide, too. Usually, this is a huge red flag for them and they go into the case with determination to overturn every stone. Makes no sense for them to write it off.

Hmmmm...wonder if this fella knew the couple missing or the other man that recently committed a near impossible suicide which they wrote off, too?! Things are getting very, very deep in Hilton Head these days with all the dead bodies piling up due to strange suicides!!!

That was mine, too. Then I wondered if she did it!

I wonder if she drove them to it also. and Dark Knight I love Steve Harvey. Have you seen White boy can dance?

This sounds a little fishy to me to. Too many coincidences for me.

My mom had a heart transplant over 15 years ago, and I've watched her go up and down the road of life. It's hard to say what went on with this man, but the life of a transplant is a rough one at times. The heart biopsies were particularly rough on my mom. At 10 years they quit doing this because they say if you get 10 years, you've done good. My mom suffered from depression for years after the transplant. She felt guilty for receiving this young persons heart (and that's all we know-it was a young person who died over the 4th of July weekend).

So there are a lot of things that go on in the mind of a transplant patient. I remember one time my mom told me that if she had a heart attack, she'd not know it...there would be no pain. This was something that worried her, and I can see why.

Recently my mom was in the hospital. She almost always goes back to the heart unit when hospitalized. It seems like each time she's there, we run into someone who was working at the hospital back when my mom had the transplant and with each passing year, you can hear it in the nurses voices...they are happy she's doing well, but they know she's outlived the expectancy.

My mom and all of us will forever be thankful for the person and their family that donated their organs. Without the heart transplant, my mom would have not survived a couple of more weeks.

It does seem strange that this man would take his life the same way that his donor did, but I think statistically, when men commit suicide, a large number shoot themselves.

Luvbeaches - blessings to you, your mother and your family.

For me, it is not so much the question of the man using the gun, its the type of gun. A shotgun is not small. Also, I would not think (I have not pulled any statistics) it would be the gun of choice, if there were other options. I also think if a person owns a shotgun, he probably owns other guns as well.

I have a hard time visulizing someone pointing a shotgun at their neck and pulling the trigger. I can see this with a hand gun and maybe even a "sawed-off" shotgun, but I can't see it with a regular shotgun.

My husband has a shotgun, but trust me, I'm not going to go pick the darn thing up to see if it is possible

Just seems so strange and then you couple it with the way the first husband died and to me, it gets weird. I would like to know more about how the first husband died.......

On the Greta Livewire thread, posted above, there is an entry by Terry Cottle's sister. She said Terry shot himself in the head, but she didn't say what kind of gun..........

Hmmmmmmm.........

I've heard of several suicides via shotgun. Can't be too easy, but it happens. Kurt Cobain used a shotgun. (But some say he was murdered, too.)

 

[Dark Knight]

I wonder if she drove them to it also. and Dark Knight I love Steve Harvey. Have you seen White boy can dance?

I don't think I've seen that, no, sounds funny, though, lol.

 

[deanws]

Haha....Deanws...we posted at the same time! Yep...I was thinking along the same lines when I saw "5th husband" :waitasec:

And I wonder too, if she is just a beast to live with, and this man committed suicide because he felt he had made a horrible mistake and couldn't go back

Hi Fermi....glad to meet you. She might be a b*tch according to the comments on that news story. Poor guy.

 

[deanws]

I'd sure like to know if first suicide was a gunshot to the neck also! Why would he commit suicide if he'd beaten cancer or did the cancer return? I have a lot of questions, wish I could talk to wife!! Ya know I'm going to feel bad, if this turns out to nothing..

I know what you mean temp. But it sure looks fishy doesn't it!?!?:waitasec:

I think it certainly should be investigated and it is and odd thing that they both died in that manner.

"A lot of talk has been directed at the fact that Sonny was married when he started seeing Cheryl, however, it also needs to be mentioned that Cheryl had already remarried when she and Sonny started seeing each other. I think the "reeling" part in the initial article was exaggerated a bit. That was Cheryl's 3rd marriage. That marriage ended in divorce and then at some point after that she married another man. So things were not as great as it sounded. Sonny is her 5th husband."

5th Husband??? :waitasec: :doh:

How confusing is that???
