So I was out of town until the 15th for business, and while I was working I had fractured my ankle, which left me disabled and at my computer for the past 2 weeks. Well I have a roommate that I had found on craigslist and has been living with me for a year or so now, and that was suppose to be moved out on or near the 14th it was no biggy only because we were moving soon and needed him out before we could be on our way, so I didn’t hear from him when I got back, so I figured maybe he was moved out, or in jail or at a friends house temporarily only because his vehicle was in the shop it had broken down on the 10th or 11th. So as I had been on my computer for the past 2 weeks, I have been noticing that the TV was on and the volume never changed, I hadn’t heard anything from my roommate, so I was beginning to think what the hell, did he leave his TV hear. So my go and I would enter the house from the downstairs on a daily basis (he rented the downstairs), and had noticed a weird stench, but we thought it was due to the bathroom, because he was messy, so last night after the stench got so great with the it being a record breaking day, all this time I had a bad feeling that something was wrong, well I had my buddy over for dinner and before dinner I had him go and check on him and there he was dead on the floor. Kind of weird and a very new experience for me and gf. It appears that he committed suicide on or around the 14th by overdose on his depression meds and excess alcohol. Just sad overall (of course), but just makes me realize I should had checked on him earlier, but didn’t run thru my head just because he is a private person and a recluse. Just makes me think about how I need to be more aware of things and people around me, and not take for grant it this wonderful live I live and how miniscule things are in relation to the big picture, if I would have known he was thinking of this due to bad times, I would have worked with him on a move out date, money or whatever, im not really hurting and even if I was it would not matter to me.Just thought I would share my weird story as usual. God rest his soul.
we are ok, thank you for your concern. Pretty bad, thank god my friend checked his room (he is older and has more expierence with seeing death), if it had been me i would be totally disturbed and out of whack. The whole thing hasnt quite set in for me, just such a different expierence.
That sorry is crazy, I can see how it didn't really occur to you to see if there was anything wrong with him being a private person. Wow but that smell must have been really bad!!!!!
