August 14, 201511 yr I've known quite a few that have died from drug overdoses and a car wreck. However, of those that I was close with: 1 - leukemia in high school 1 - drug overdose a handful of years ago 1 - suicide less than 2 weeks ago
August 14, 201511 yr They do seem to have quite a few people close to them that have died in some tragic ways...many times more than most of us. Kennedy's. Two assassinated, one died in combat, another sibling in a plane crash. Still another was treated to a labotomy.
August 15, 201511 yr Kennedy's. Two assassinated, one died in combat, another sibling in a plane crash. Still another was treated to a labotomy. Are we getting away from the thread?
August 15, 201511 yr Add: friend who perished in the plane crash @ Bluegrass Airport. Do we include BGPers that we've known but never met? (Birdsfan, Alabama Larry, etc.)
August 15, 201511 yr [quote=Bluto;5587521 Do we include BGPers that we've known but never met? (Birdsfan, Alabama Larry, etc.) "firearms accident, murder, suicide, drowning, farm equipment accident or other unknown deaths"
August 15, 201511 yr Are we getting away from the thread? Probably. It started when someone mentioned the Clintons
August 15, 201511 yr Are we getting away from the thread? BTW, I still haven't figured out the point of the thread.
August 16, 201511 yr My cousin was stuck by lightning and killed at Boone Woods fort many years ago. Several others but that one I will never get over.
August 16, 201511 yr Today I learned of another friend who was unable to overcome his battle with depression. RIP Jean-Phillipe. Friends and family, if someone you know battles depression, don't downplay the seriousness of the disease. It can be lethal.

August 16, 201511 yr Author BTW, I still haven't figured out the point of the thread. I had two different ideas, but after reading the responses I'm just going to let the thread stand without further comment as to my original two-fold motives. It's just so sad seeing the amount of tragedy that we each have had visited upon us, our friends and families. Any other comment at this point I feel would cheapen what has been shared.
August 17, 201511 yr I've known 3 people who committed suicide, 2 that Od'd, 4 that were murdered and one good friend that was hit and killed by Cincy Police officer that blew a stop sign trying to join a police chase
August 17, 201511 yr Man, more people know of someone that has been murdered than I thought. So sad. All tragic deaths are terribly sad, but murder is the saddest to me of the friends I've lost suddenly.
August 18, 201511 yr I found my brother-in-law after he commited suicide. He shot himself in the head. I will never forget it.
