So sad. If you read the tabloids then the speculation is that this was down to money problems, unemployment, depression, recent car repossession, etc, based on interviews with friends and neighbours. We are seeing more and more of this sort of thing - people ending up in this state of helplessness where they feel all hope is gone and that there is no way out. The divide between the haves and havenots continues to grow, and we still send billions and billions to the thirld world while people's lives here are falling apart.
