Wife just told me about a "couple" which her sister and husband have been friends with for a long time.
"Their" 26 year old son committed suicide last week.
He was in the armed forces, serving in "special forces" for Australia and had done 3 tours of Afghanistan.
He was back in Australia when it happened, but not at home with mum and dad. He was stationed at the base when they found him.
What got my goat was, "mum and dad" got a phone call of the news.
They released the body a week later (kept it for autopsy) to give back to the family for the burial.
So it is approaching 2 weeks, they're burying him on Tuesday, and they still haven't been given any reason at all about the cause of death.
(Other than the fact that it "looks" like suicide.) Apparently, it's all tied up in govt red tape, hence no answers.
If it was my son, I'd be furious, I'd want some heads to roll.
PS, everytime the son went on duty, mum knew that he couldn't tell them why or where he is going. They understood that part.
Very sad to hear things like this ....just had to share.
