"It is very tragic that one of our senior citizens would find himself in such desperate circumstances where he felt murder and suicide were the only option," Sheriff Bill Elfo said in a statement. "Help is always available with a call to 911."
Yeah, 911 isn't always a feasible option... especially if you live in an area which lacks a quality hospital with quality physicians who actually give a crap.
This is happening way too often... healthcare needs to change, and soon. Medicare isn't enough for many of our elders...and the current pseudo private market fails miserably for those outside employer coverage.
