Suicide by Murder ??
In late January a 37 YO 12 year veteran of the Houston FD was eastbound on IH10 just west of Houston when his car veered across the median and into incoming traffic and hit a on-coming car head on (police said car doing 80 MPH when it hit the other car). The fireman killed instantly as well as the 61 YO lady driving the other car and the 31 YO daughter of the lady seriously injured (they were returning home from M.D. Anderson where the daughter was receiving treatment for cancer). The fireman left a wife and 2 kids. The accident presumed to be tire or mechanical failure. A terrible accident it seemed.
Until earlier this week the cause of death of the fireman was ruled suicide. As far as I know they haven't released why they changed it to suicide but must assume they had strong evidence of such.
Firemen apparently have a fairly high rate of suicide but why take innocent victims with you ?? If you are going to use a car, there are plenty of bridge abutments, overpass support columns, etc. you can use. Just makes no sense at all...
