Even so, besides the detrimental effects upon family members, what could make a person's life so horrible that they would choose to go out like that? Even if I were highly intoxicated and wanted to end my life, I couldn't step over the fence knowing that I was going to be chewed up and it would be painful. I wouldn't want to jump out of an airplane without a parachute to feel the smack as I hit the ground, or inject myself with a flesh eating virus that would kill me over time.

This is so horrible... *frowns*

I feel horribly for the family, but more so for her. There must be so much we don't know that would cause a person to end their life in that manner, such a horrible death, yet all we know is of a husband. Maybe it was a mental thing, or cultural. Like in Japan with hari kari, an honorable death. But, I've never heard of such a thing like this. So painful until the end. Not even a person who doesn't want to live their life should go out like that.

Ugh. I don't know.
