PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An official says an inspector who surveyed a Philadelphia building before it collapsed last week, killing six people, has committed suicide.
Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison says the inspector was found fatally shot in a pickup truckWednesday night. The man was a Department of Licenses and Inspections employee who had inspected the building May 14.
Officials were informing department staff Thursday morning and the man's name wasn't immediately being released.
City officials are planning a 9:30 a.m. news conference.
The building was being demolished when it collapsed onto a neighboring Salvation Army Thrift Store on June 5, killing two employees and four customers. Police allege a heavy equipment operator was high on marijuana when it happened.
some say suicide is the cowards way out, but who's to say at what level are you labeled a coward and how can one judge another without knowing every single thing in that life that brought them to that point.
grief is as powerful a emotion as any, inability to forgive one's self results in feeling unworthy of any forgiveness even that of our Lord, that i would not wish on anyone.
if you get to a place where you figure even God won't forgive your transgression, i believe that is the real proverbial "HELL ON EARTH"
