Wow. Now they’re publishing the names of people who commit suicide. Seems as if standards have really gone down hill. 🙁
Blunt force trauma to the head and body…suicide. Did he jump? Otherwise, that’s a stretch to describe the body that way and determine it was a suicide. Unless brada punched himself to death.
Exactly my thoughts too.
Jim was a windsurfer and a good man who was prescribed Opioid pain medications after knee and shoulder surgeries. He became addicted and his life fell apart, as so many have from doctor’s reckless used of these drugs and disregard for the benefits if unimpaired pain sensation for proper healing.
Over the course of 10-15 years, his life fell apart, with chronic pain, disability from his C&C job, marital collapse and divorce, and deteriorating physical and mental health. Repeated efforts at drug rehab failed, as it usually does, because the addiction to Opioids is notoriously hard to control once it is set in motion.
When will we see the end of this slow descent of American medical doctors into dishonor? How many of us have to be harmed?

Ummmm…. one month to be released… sounds like payback before his release and with a good cover up. Made it look like a suicide.

How can this be a suicide? Did he hit himself in the head and body? Something is not right.
Maybe it was assisted suicide. It’s prison and I think he would have found a lot of good, qualified candidates
He could have smashed or rammed his head against the wall…inmates have self injured themselves using that method…..
