Bridgend Suicide 'Curse' Continues Claiming Lives...

Some true stories seem simply to be beyond belief.

Stories such as the continuing, shocking, strange, sad & sorry saga of serial suicides, all in the same small Welsh town of Bridgend.

A grieving father has been found dead in the tragedy-hit town of Bridgend after his own daughter and nephew hanged themselves.

Dean Stephenson, 40, was discovered hanged after struggling to coming to terms with the death of his daughter Kelly, 20, and nephew Nathaniel Pritchard, 15.
Just days before his death Mr Stephenson left an entry on his Facebook site saying the biggest interest in his life was his family.

Friends said the father-of-three never got over the death of Kelly - the 16th out of 24 young people found hanged in the South Wales town.

Chief Constable Mike Todd's Recent Suspicious Suicide : "Spook" Stories Suddenly Start Surfacing ...

*
In the interests of saving coincidence theorists any time and trouble, we strongly suggest they stop reading right here.

Remember top cop, ex-Met man Michael Todd [BBC personal profile], Chief Constable of Greater Manchester - the UK's second largest force?

Remember what we wrote when publishing this piece re; the string of strange/suspect circumstances/stories surrounding his recent supposed suicide?

Well, here are some of the latest spooky revelations courtesy the 'Sunday Mail' regarding the man's sudden, premature demise half way up Snowdon in the middle of the mist shrouded, gale lashed mountains of North Wales.

'Suicide' police chief: Why didn't they call us earlier ask rescue services?

00:37am on 30th March 2008

• Mountain rescue chief says they could have saved top policeman on Snowdon

• Mystery of dark suited 'spooks' waiting at bottom of mountain

• Chinook helicopter appeared above body - but could not land

• 'Champagne was in police chief's rucksack'

Lonely death: Mike Todd [Wikipedia] had a half empty bottle of gin and a bottle of champagne with him when his body was found on Snowdon

The police chief who died on a blizzard-swept mountain might have survived if rescue services had been alerted earlier, according to the expert who masterminded the recovery of his body.

Peter Walker has provided the first detailed account of the hunt on Snowdon for Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Michael Todd.

His claims raise a series of disturbing questions about the death of Mr Todd, who was tipped as a future Scotland Yard Commissioner.

So, we strongly suggest investigating further for yourself.

But remember, all aspiring Sherlocks, spies, spooks, special agents and such, it's only recommended reading if you're not a crazy coincidence theorist.

Mysterious Sudden Death Of Inspector Neil Munro:The Continuing Completely Coincidental Curious Cases Of British Bobbies Suddenly Snuffing It.

*

Suffering, sodding, bloody hell-fire!

Now it's getting to be beyond bleeding belief.

What the unholy hell is happening here?

You could NOT make this sort of stuff up. Nobody could. Ever. Never.

Inspector Neil Munro, 43, of Dorset Police bought a ticket and boarded the Brittany Ferries ship alone late last night in Poole, Dorset which set sail at 11.45 pm.

His body was found just down the coast on a beach bordering Poole harbour at 8.30am.

(snip)

Peter Power was running a terror exercise on July 7th 2005 which, in his own words that evening, was “based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright!“.

Now, please pass peacefully over, in an orderly fashion (whilst retaining at all times the required by tradition), stiff upper Brit-like lip, to Postman Patel's place - post haste.

Because, to be quite f**king frank about it all, right now we've now run out of words.

Re : Omaha Mall Mass Murdering Suicide Shooter, Robert Hawkins ...

*

What a crying shame. What a wanton waste.

Yet another sickening American suicide ~~bomber~~ shooter story.

What another lethal lapse in US citizens' homeland security, eh?

And as if this ever escalating, US serial suicide shooters and mass murderers' shocking state of affairs wasn't sickening enough in itself, we get this sort of sheer stupidity from MSM America.

Clues sought after random US mall rampage

That's how one particular report starts.

And here's how the same piece ends.

The Nebraska incident was the latest in a series of shootings in the United States, which is home to more than 200 million privately owned firearms for a population of just over 300 million, authorities say.

In February, an 18-year-old Bosnian refugee shot and killed five people in a Utah shopping mall before being gunned down by police.

There have also been a series of school shootings this year, the worst being the Virginia Tech massacre in April, when 32 people were killed by a student who went on a campus rampage.

Clues sought, Sherlock? Did you say CLUES?!

Surely you're just joking?

Surely you read your own reports? Right through?

So what the hell is it you need? A damned diagram?

US Veterans : Suicide 'Epidemic' Exposed

We've not a lot to say tonight.

We think that as far as this (so sad) subject is concerned, it's best we simply let the facts & figures speak for themselves.

Suicide Epidemic Among Veterans

A CBS News Investigation Uncovers A Suicide Rate For Veterans Twice That Of Other Americans

They are the casualties of wars you don’t often hear about - soldiers who die of self-inflicted wounds. Little is known about the true scope of suicides among those who have served in the military.

But a five-month CBS News investigation discovered data that shows a startling rate of suicide, what some call a hidden epidemic, Chief Investigative Reporter Armen Keteyian reports exclusively.

(snip)

They survived the hell that's Iraq and then they come home only to lose their life.

(snip)

CBS News did an investigation - asking all 50 states for their suicide data, based on death records, for veterans and non-veterans, dating back to 1995. Forty-five states sent what turned out to be a mountain of information.

And what it revealed was stunning.

In 2005, for example, in just those 45 states, there were at least 6,256 suicides among those who served in the armed forces.
That’s 120 each and every week, in just one year.

Please read the rest.

It's the least you can do ... now.
