Parents commit suicide after their boy dies

Quote:
Neil Puttick, 34, and his Japanese wife Kazumi, 44, committed suicide together days after the death of their young son, police said. They could not cope with the loss of Samuel, 5, who died on Friday of pneumococcal meningitis. His body was found in a rucksack alongside those of his parents at the foot of the cliffs.


I feel for the parents, they obviously loved their little boy. I just wonder at the kind of depression that could lead to a joint suicide.

If they had spent more time watching Looney Tones with their son they would have known to watch out for that first step.

This got to me too, Eastbourne (which is where Beachy Head is) is where I spent the last week at my boyrfriends house . He lives in the Meads area of Eastbourne, and the beach from there is right at the foot of Beachy Head.
I heard about the bodies dragged out a couple of days after I got back . It's really strange how suicides from Beachy Head stick in my mind now simply because it's now a real place to me . I know the carpark they parked in, I curiously wonder if they went for a drink in the one pub next to that carpark, the same pub I had an excellent meal in,if they needed the dutch courage, if they hesitated,, how soon after jumping they were found, and if they paid and displayed.

A rucksack? They honored their deceased son by stuffing him in a rucksack and tossing him off a cliff?

Hmmph.

Well, life goes on. Not for them, but it goes on.

There was a 'friend of the family' on the radio this morning. He was saying that the boy was their life and they never got over his death.

It does sound like a complete tragedy. Very sad.

They were parents. They loved their son. It's what parents do. We all love our kids.

Clearly my paternal instinct isn't refined enough to stuff an infant into a napsack and play Wile E Coyote. I'm far more touched by those parents who face bereavement with courage and battle on for the sake of their other loved ones.

Having said that, I imagine their last thoughts were "At least we're jumping from somewhere that a dumpy lass from Nottin'am has recently visited" Smiley: dubious

(No, I have no fUcking clue what relevance fatalilluision was trying to make either)

We all tackle grief in our own way.

I didn't say they were right, I said it is tragic.

P.S. Your title threw me, but the baby reassured me.

They never got over his death? Yeah, they wouldn't in two days.

Happy days.

I think you're culpable.

Time spent shifting your spotty thrusting bottom off the cliffs, could have been time spent preventing people jumping over the edge.

You think they jumped? Well, **** you! It wasn't their time. They weren't supposed to go! They're not supposed to be there!
