Woman kills herself to save family from forclosure

Wow, I'm not sure if it's symptomatic of the times or just a horrible, hopefully unique situation.
Personally I think it's the former, and situations of people in desperate situations due to forclosures and collapsing banks is going to get worse still.

Damn, that sucks.
Re: Woman kills herself to save family from forclosure
I'm going to go the other way and say this isn't symptomatic of the times. Just another knob who couldn't deal with life.
I'm a big fan of amor fati--love life in all its circumstances; whether good or ill. Everything contributes to your life and makes you who you are, and thus all things that happen to you are necessarily good things.

I think it's the latter, although it's not all that unique.Originally Posted by Cheeto
Suicide over financial distress is hardly unique, especially since this woman had hidden their financial troubles from her husband. The short of it is that she backed herself into a corner, both financially and in her relationship with her family (would YOU be able to admit to your spouse that you'd been keeping the fact that you're about to lose your house from them until the last second?) and took the only way out she saw.

"O'Berg also said a suicide note found next to Balderrama told her husband, John, and 24-year-old son to "take the (life) insurance money and pay for the house."
Wonder if she did the research to make sure her life insurance would cover her suicide.
Re: Woman kills herself to save family from forclosure
Or whether or not her policy would pay out for a suicide.

Re: Woman kills herself to save family from forclosure
Uh, what did you think I was talking about?
Re: Woman kills herself to save family from forclosure
Err, sorry, I misread it. For some reason I thought you said "whether or not her life insurance would cover the cost of the house."
I dunno where that came from.

The Mortgage companies in the us realy fucked up on this. They gave many a loan to a "High Risk" recipient. All to make more sales. In the long run the family was not realy informed on the burdons and this would not have happened if they cared. Now they walk in and evict people sometimes with 2 weeks notice. It's a shame but the housing section in the us market is now suffering on account of these shady loans.
Atleast they got thier commission eh.

Re: Woman kills herself to save family from forclosure
They're gonna give it to htem out of sympathy but that would definitely be insurance fraud, and this shit is NOT covered by any life insurance plan I know.
