Calif. Man Hangs Himself at Concert
Thanks Igor Mittelman, Aug. 3, 1998
CONCORD, Calif. (AP) — As hundreds of people leaving a Stevie Nicks concert watched in horror, a man shinnied up a pole and hanged himself with car battery jumper cables. The man encountered his estranged wife Sunday night at the outdoor Concord Pavilion and the two argued. The woman, who had a restraining order against her husband, reported him to police. By the time officers arrived, the man had taken a set of battery jumper cables and scaled a light pole in a parking lot, said police Sgt. Mike Gamble. "He wrapped one end around his neck and another end around the top of the pole,'' Gamble said. "He was threatening to jump, and security officers were trying to dissuade him from jumping. And at one point he either jumped or slipped and hanged himself.'' The man's name was not released. Concord is 25 miles east of San Francisco.
How unbelievably tragic... suicide is never worth it, never...
