Apparent suicide at Nursing home?

The news article (see the other posts here), states that the death was an apparent suicide.

THE NEWS LINK is at the end of this article also and here too. Please read this whole message before clicking on the link.

We are wondering why they put the cause of death in the news when it wasn't fully determined that it was a suicide.

Seems the assumption is made that it is a sucide? But why make that assumption when there are so many other assumptions that can be made in circumstances like that.


What about these factors:



  • IF (That's if) this woman committed suicide, what were the reasons that she felt so strongly about that she took her life? What was her quality of life like? Did she have anything to look forward to? Most times, people commit or attempt to commit suicide because they have nothing to look forward to.
  • If, it was a suicide, could other determining factors be what her life was like at the nursing home? What is the reason why a human being wants to take their own life?

If this has not clearly been determined that it was a suicide, then what was the cause of death?

These are not accusations but these are only questions. These are probably questions that most everyone who read the accounts had in their mind. Some didn't state the questions but others did ask .

All this post is saying is this:

What makes the determination that this was a suicide?

  1. Was there a suicide note?
  2. Did the woman threaten to kill herself at all while at the nursing home? (And if so, why were proper precautions not made --the window? ).
  3. Did anyone else know about this woman's need to kill herself (If this was a suicide)?

Usually people have warnings when people are going to threaten themselves and others. Were there warnings in this particular case where this woman was found on the ground after having either jumped or been urged out of the window. (I state those two possibilities only because the news articles states that this is

apparent suicide --

The word apparent means it has not yet been officially determined that it indeed was a suicide.


Does anyone have the latest news on this story, we would love to hear the outcome of any investigations or new findings in this case.

Either way, if she jumped that's bad news; If this wasn't a suicide, that's worse news.

We will watch the news to see the updates. Kindly post the updates here in your own postings (messages). Thanks for the information.
