All tag results for 'suicide'

Dick Trickle was a legend in the NASCAR community, and he was recently found dead a cemetery from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. While he DID leave a note, the contents have not made public — so there's no way of knowing why he did what he did.

His brother, though, believes Dick took his own life because he couldn't

This is just awful news for the world, especially for the NASCAR community who knew him well.

Legendary driver Dick Trickle, who even used to smoke cigarettes while racing because he was so good, has passed away due to an apparent suicide. He DID leave a note at the scene of his death.

Sources say that Dick had been sick for a while and depressed. Authorities in North Carolina say he shot himself at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Lincoln County — and they even received a call before his death saying they would find his dead body there. He was found next to his pickup.

We have word that his body has been removed from the scene and taken to a nearby hospital.

Such a sad day for racing, and our hearts go out to his friends and family.

GOSH, how many times has this happened to you: You're out hiking, just minding your business (you know, lookin' at some birds and stuff) and you just happen upon the remains of a man who went missing 26 years ago??

All the time right?? LOLz!

This is nuts! A hiker in Colorado found the remains for Ronald Vasey, who mysteriously disappeared in 1987 — in a partially buried station wagon!

Omg! How sad.

Staff doctor, Thierry Costa from French Survivor took his life yesterday in Cambodia after contestant Gerald Babin suffered a heart attack and unfortunately died.

The late 25-year-old went into cardiac arrest on the first day of filming the show's 12th season after he completed two challenges, which included jumping off a boat and swimming to shore to compete in a tug-of-war on the beach… and once Babin was done with the challenges, he experienced arm cramps and immediately fell to the ground.

Costa then ordered an emergency helicopter, but after the production team didn't want to give Gerald immediate attention because they didn't want to stop filming, he was taken away on a boat, rather than a chopper because it was considered "too costly."

The only problem with this was that "unjust accusations and assumptions [were] made against [Thierry]," which initially led to his suicide.

Ten days after Babin died, Costa left a note and committed suicide, he wrote:

Who would do such a thing?!?

It's already horrifying enough for women to visit the OBGYN, but when someone you think you can trust is filming your medical procedure… things get even more uncomfortable.

Earlier this week, Dr. Nikita Levy, a former OB/GYN at Johns Hopkins was found dead inside his home, which was only two weeks after the hospital caught him taping patients without their permission.

The Towson home that Levy was found in was the same house that the Baltimore City police supplied a search warrant for, and when they went in, they came up with a whole bunch of evidence that showed that the doctor was indeed taping his patients.

Johns Hopkins has since released a statement, it reads:
