Re: ADMIN: Lurker. Suicide Threat
 

a user just PMed me moments ago concerned over Lurker's life. Can we remove that thread please?

Re: ADMIN: Lurker. Suicide Threat
 

Do we want to remove it if this is real and it's possibly the one way he tried to connect with people?

Obviously, it could 100% be a scam, but if it's real someone might get through to him.

Re: ADMIN: Lurker. Suicide Threat
 

it's real as far as i can tell.

he called me.

i'm posting in the thread now

Re: ADMIN: Lurker. Suicide Threat
 

Mat - did you get his number on caller ID? Call the police in his state, get someone over to his house ASAP.

Re: ADMIN: Lurker. Suicide Threat
 

I have his number. I've spoken with him. He has given me his word that he will not do anything tonight. I believe him. He is living at home, i believe, and sending the cops over right now doesn't seem like the right play.

clearly, he does not want to die.

However, if anyone here really disagrees with me enough that they want to take more aggressive action, his number is . he lives in ottowa canada

Let someone qualified make that decision. Don't make it yourself.

Contact the proper authorities and let them deal with the situation in person.

I agree. Let the professionals do their jobs. He is crying out for help, the best thing to do is get him some help. If the professionals know the situation they can avoid a lot of embarrassment with the family. You cant take the word of someone who is suicidal, their decisions could swing in either direction due to various triggers out of our control.

Re: ADMIN: Lurker. Suicide Threat
 

He asked me not to send the cops to his house.

I'm not going to do it under these circumstances.

If you guys feel i'm wrong, you have as much info as me.

i am calling the ottowa crisis line, however.
