Okay, now you are confusing me. Are you agreeing now, that anyone contemplating suicide (whether due to mental illness or just because of lifes ups and downs) is not thinking clearly and would be irrational? If you agree with the previous statement, then you would have to agree with me in that you and I, in the situation of contemplating suicide, would do irrational things. People contemplating suicide will generally give away thier prized possesions.

Their behavior may be dramatically different from their normal behavior, or they may appear to be actively contemplating or preparing for a suicidal act through behaviors such as:
•Performing poorly at work or school
•Acting recklessly or engaging in risky activities—seemingly without thinking
•Showing violent behavior such as punching holes in walls, getting into fights or self-destructive violence; feeling rage or uncontrolled anger or seeking revenge
•Looking as though one has a “death wish,” tempting fate by taking risks that could lead to death, such as driving fast or running red lights
•Giving away prized possessions
•Putting affairs in order, tying up loose ends, and/or making out a will
•Seeking access to firearms, pills, or other means of harming oneself
****The fifth bullet above is what I am referring to when I say that they would have given away the dog and the money among other things prior to going to the property if they indeed were going to kill themselves.
Also, having said that, why would someone go to an unfamiliar spot to end thier life? Seems to be alot of trouble when they could have accomplished the same at thier home.
