today i leanrt of yet another death of someone i know through the media.

first was the muder of David Martin, he was kicked to death in front of his family because he dared to ask for his son's football back.

Then there was Cara Burk, the girl who was murdered and then cut up in Brazil.

now today it comes across the local radio that there was a man who had hung himself causing decapitation on the bridge behind my house.
It was shocking to know he had chosen such a public place which is used by children walking to school.

I left to collect DD from Pre school when i noticed a police car outside my nieghbours house ( few doors down)
didn't really think anything of it as she runs the neighbourhood watch.

by the timei returned home there were streamsn of her family arriving and she was clearly distraught while opening teh door.

I put two and two together.

Her son is good friends with my brother and he came to knock for him (my brother is staying with me) and he confirmed what i had feared. it was my neighbours partner.
she has no idea why he did this. he left for work this morning happy as always. he seems he parked his van few feet up the road...out of sight from tehhouse, walked around the back and hung himself with a tow rope.

I spoke to her briefly and she is understandably in shock. she is still trying to let it all sink in.
to make it worse the local rag is already showing a video of the scene..including a shot of his body.. on the website and asking for info as to the "body's" identity.

i am disgusted at the way the tragedy of a family has been treated.

and feel as though i am clearly some bad luck omen or something.

oh i feel utter pain for all 3 families.
it is unspeakable, what they are going through just cannot be compared to.

I know that i am not to blame but i have to wonder if i should just hide away somewhere.

as coincidences go these are pretty shite.
