Suicide or homicide in a hospital bathroom
My brother who works as a doctor at an emergency hospital always tells me strange stories he faces in his work, about violent fights, terrible accidents, gun shots…etc, but yesterday he told me the strangest story ever happened at the hospital.
A patient found hanged in the bathroom, when he was discovered, he was already dead. He was hanged with a bandage which was tied to the water tubes at the roof of the bathroom.
The possibility of this being a homicide is still present, as this patient was involved in a fight with other people, he was admitted to the hospital one week before with fractures because of this fight..
So the question remains unsolved, is it a suicide or a homicide, well, all this will be discovered with the aid of forensic medicine.
It is sad really…when someone just loses the will of living, when even breathing becomes very hard , very painful ….
When there is no light at the end of the tunnel ,no one to help , when there is too much of suffering , when the idea of dying becomes an obsession , the only thing that you can think of , the only way , the only solution of all your problems , is just to die , to leave , to be free …
What made that man commit suicide , if it was not a homicide ?...
Maybe he had some psychological problems?
Maybe he was completely normal but he had big problems and he is just too tired to face them?
Maybe he just lost every thing that is important to him, and he just lost the will of living any more?
Maybe he was suffering for many reasons, and even breathing became hard to him , thinking became painful , he just wanted some relief ?
And it is strange , but sometimes , when you are really fed up, and you pass through a crazy moment that no one can save you from , at that point , even a hospital bandage becomes an answer , a savior , a way to relief , to make an end to the pain and suffering , and at that point , it seems very normal to commit suicide , it does not seem as something wrong to do or as a murder , it becomes just a choice to make , and life is full of choices ..And that was his …
Maybe that was what he is thinking of , when he took the bandage and climbed on the toilet seat and hanged himself with a bandage band from the pipe and just let his legs drop …
That he was just , making a choice ….
A life time choice !
