I look at that one first. It’s a good example, although it’s not clear it really was a suicide attempt. He is a jackass either way. Incidentally, the truncation of the URL tells its own story:
What do you mean? What about the shit that the innocent dead guy’s family has to go through because someone decided to off himself in an irresponsible manner?
The family of the victim should definitely be awarded damages from the suicide guy’s estate.
Slightly off topic, but I’ve always wondered this about a similar scenario; one where some guy is a serial killer or rapist and the wife or girlfriend claims to know nothing. I just find it hard to believe.
I’m pretty sure something very close to this (but just a bit tamer in the outlandishness department) was on my Bar exam. Anyone else take NY in 2005?
No one has said otherwise. But the way the OP was worded it looked like he was talking about criminal charges against the family. That was cleared up further up the thread.
