ferryjambo Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sad news. Some reports suggesting a suicide attempt. Seems to be the inference although no one coming out and saying it. Is meant to have had depression in the past so seems possible. Also inference in a few reports that it's a machine switch off job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musketeer Gripweed Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 It happened this morning and is only coming out now, I really don't know if that is a bad sign or not. Married with three kids, fingers crossed for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 That would be excellent news. Difficult to envisage circumstances in which it isn't a suicide attempt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughsie Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 For whatever reason I immediately thought it might be an accident while out jogging or something rather than a suicide. Would seem unlikely he'd be out for a run at 7.30 at this time of year though (i.e. in the dark). Hope he pulls through and if it turns out to be an attempt at his own life that he gets the treatment he needs to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferryjambo Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 That would be excellent news. Difficult to envisage circumstances in which it isn't a suicide attempt. Car broke down? Crossing road? Seems like suicide is a reasonable conclusion but not the only one. If he has managed to get hit by a Lorry and walk away then he is very lucky as todays scenes in Glasgow show.

djchapsticks Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Hopefully he pulls through and receives the physical and mental help he needs to recover for the sake of his three young children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtual Insanity Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I'm not saying it's impossible there is an alternative explanation, but it seems pretty unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm not saying it's impossible there is an alternative explanation, but it seems pretty unlikely. Could have been rearranging the reg plate into a 9 letter word and the driver has started moving without looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambomo Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Is there anything to suggest this is a suicide attempt? Even though it was dark it's not unlikely that at 7.30am he'd be out and about - as someone said running (Plenty of folk do run in the dark) or going into work, car broken down etc. Its unfair to suggest suicide unless there's a real reason to think so. I hope he gets better soon and is back with his family quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets better soon and is back with his family quickly. He's suffered/suffering from depression so I think folk are just putting 2 and 2 together. We can only hope it's just a bad accident and he pulls through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Also, when police use wording like they are "pursuing all avenues" it suggests it might not just be a straightforward accident. I think that's a section of dual carriageway so the jogging angle probably less likely. Still rotten for the guy and his family regardless of the reasons.

Parscelona Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Don't like the guy as he could have killed someone when he selfishly got behind the wheel while drunk three years ago, yet hopefully he pulls through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banana Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Given exercise is a common prescription for depression it seems like pure speculation to say "he's depressed, therefore if he was jogging it means he attempted suicide". Could be the exact opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't quite follow - are you suggesting he might have slipped on the son of God's tears into the path of an oncoming truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
