This is why the "Suicide is nothing but selfish" notion is pretty ridiculous. I don't know anyone who wouldn't either attempt or have significant suicidal ideation after something like that. I can't imagine the absolute distress he was in when that happened.


Having another child still alive would be the only thing that kept me from suicide most likely.

Same for me. I didn't read the article yet, but I hope he and his wife have another child besides his toddler. I can't imagine how she is getting through without them.

One of the comments in the article:

So unimaginably sad. I fully understand his immense grief. Please get the word out: There are several very effective units available to stop this from happening. One of them alerts you every time you leave the vehicle and asks if your child is with you. The other sounds an alarm when the vehicle is turned off and there is still pressure on the child seat. There are others just as effective. If I had a young child, I would have all of them. Please tell others and maybe even buy one as present for those you know with infants.
