    Also a very selfish and inconsiderate way.

    And in which way would you suggest to commit suicide then, you know 'to be considerate and unselfish'?
     
  5. Do we need to debate suicide.

    I understand its a subject that splits opinion but this is a thread on dean powells death.
    Also there is no confirmation he took his own life.

    Dean Powell will be missed badly by British boxing and most importantly his family and friends.

    Well obviously a less selfish or inconsiderate way is one where someone is responsible for their own death, not someone going about their job, for example a train driver. Not taking into account the hours of delays caused to train users who may be going to work, job interviews, visiting loved ones in hospital etc.

    I took Kermit's comment to mean that jumping in front of a train was particularly selfish and inconsiderate because it's not at all nice for the train driver, rail workers, train passengers, a whole host of random strangers ... it's incredibly anti-social by any standards.

    But ginger warrior is probably right.
    Not the right time and place to debate this.
    AND it's only a rumour.

    That's more or less an excuse for anything.

    Don't think it's a rumour now it's on various news sites. Happened at New Cross.

    True, the train driver would be left with post-traumatic stress be off work for a long period ,might even effect his *** life so the wife looks else where for comfort,train driver seeks solace in a bottle of Jack Daniel's maybe become a alcoholic,then there is his family they have to identify the mangled body, personally I would opt for over dose
    on pills...RIP

    I'd write a note and do a Lord Lucan.
