A Retired Policeman
Talks About
Suicides He’s Seen.

“I remember one lady, we found her
in her bathtub, she cut her throat. That’s
odd, for women, normally they take
pills, they don’t like to disfigure them-
selves. But she knew what she was
doing, cutting her throat in a full bath.
Less messy that way. Autopsy said
she was full of barbiturates. She was
a nurse, that explained how she knew
how to do it, but then we found out
that she was pregnant, too. And to top
it off, her brother was a priest.”
