What an awful thing to say. You could be visiting more sadness upon his family. It does not take much to start a rumor. His loved ones are devastated enough without having to hear that such a rumor-starter has been posted on TOTV.

I truly am somewhat shocked at your thoughtlessness.

In case you are thinking of digging in and giving me s#%t, please don’t. The best thing you could do would be to ask the moderator to remove your post — along with all those, like mine, that have quoted it.

I certainly didn't mean to be unkind. I think we all know of someone in our lives who has done this. People in today's world are under extreme pressure and there is a lot of depression. I didn't mean to be flip at all. We are taught to look for signs of depression because people do commit suicide because they have lost hope or are having mental health issues. We must learn to try to make these issues more talkable. I most certainly did not mean to cause more sadness.
