It's a very sad story indeed. I wonder what would have happened if even one person had tried to talk him out of it. It is also sad that people have become so skeptical and jaded that they didn't want to believe him until his face went blue. It was almost as if they feared being "punked" by someone more than they feared that another person would kill themselves in front of them. Of all the people i would prefer not to see alive, a depressed divorcee with a family and a job who drinks Boddingtons each evening isn't one of them.
