Suicide Case Summary

Research and psychological studies show that suicidal behavior stems from at least one or more mental disorders that are treatable. Individuals with suicidal behaviors often feel hopeless which contributes to these behaviors and can lead to suicide attempts or succession. Recognizing these behaviors can save someone’s life, being compassionate, empathetic, and proactive can greatly reduce an individual’s suicide behavior. The goal is to recognize these behaviors and get help for these individuals quickly.

In the article written in the (Douglas County 2010) "In Douglas County between 2003-2007: The homicide rate in the black population was 6.7 per 100,000 population, slightly higher than the white population rate of 5.9.  The age group with the highest homicide rate was 30-39 year olds with a rate of 8.9 per 100,000 population. The suicide rate in Douglas County from 2003-2007 was much higher in whites with a rate of 12.9 per 100,000 compared to a rate of 4.0 for blacks."

“My ex-girlfriend was taken away by the cop and taken to the local jail. My ex-girlfriend’s Dad showed up and I rode back with him to their house. Finally my parents came and picked me up. I went home and maybe got two hours of sleep, if you even call that sleep. The next morning, I went back to my ex-girlfriend’s house and she was later released from jail that day. For the longest time, we would just sit there in silence, because, what do you say? It was time to comfort one another. I not only felt bad about the whole situation, but I knew no one was going to believe me, us. Believe that a girl purposively jumped into the moving vehicle. I later learned that the girl who died had been suicidal. Earlier that day, before the accident,

Jesica did not die due to a lack of social and cultural barriers with her family. While this is an issue with the case as a whole, she died due to a lack of communication from the donor services and the physicians on staff. There was no mention of any documentation on anyone's part. The donor services stated that they informed the operating physician and the physician who picked up the donated organs. The operating physician did not recall being informed and he did not mention the blood type of Jesica to the physician who picked up the organs (Burns, Bradley, Weiner, & Shortell, 2012).

Researchers conduct hypotheses that suicide could be contagious. Researchers had a total of 22,064 individuals ages 12 to 17. When conducting the study they met on cycles to monitor the exposure to suicide. All groups which were separated into age had an outcome of 95% of exposure to suicide. Researchers also questioned how often certain groups were or had feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts from stressful events during the cycles. In further research, 24.1% from the ages 16 and 17 responded that someone from school has committed suicide and which 20.1%

Sarah was a complete wreck when she found out Autumn died. She was sitting on a bench in the lobby of a hotel in a fetal position, wailing. Emotionally, Sarah was in hysterics. DeSpelder and Strickland (2015) say that some children experience intense grief when a family pet dies (pp. 69). The grief was so intense for Sarah, her emotions were overwhelming her to the point she was fighting away everyone who was trying to comfort her. She felt like her heart was being ripped in two and then pulled from her chest. Everything had happened so quickly, Sarah didn't have a chance to say goodbye or tell Autumn she loved her one last time. There was an aspect of unfinished business in the sense that Sarah didn't get to do these things before Autumn died

Assisted suicide is a form of suicide where someone helps dying patients suffering from health problems die by taking medicine prescribed by their doctor to help them die in peace without suffering. In October 2015, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill to make assisted suicide legal in his state after the death of a California woman named Brittany Maynard (McGreevy, 2015). The Catholic Church was fighting Jerry Brown because they did not want the bill to pass since suicide is against religious teachings (McGreevy, 2015). The California Governor made the decision to sign the bill based on a person’s right to decide when and how to die (McGreevy, 2015). California joined Oregon, Washington and Vermont in making this legal. Other states such as New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Connecticut, the District of Columbia and Maryland are trying to pass legislation to make assisted suicide legal (McGreevy, 2015).

It's been over two weeks and Evan is still not sure what he's gotten himself into and the only one to blame is himself and his wired therapy letters. So now where is he? Oh yeah, pretending to be Connor Murphy's best friend because his parents thought he wrote a suicide note to Evan. And of course, he just went with it. Told the Murphy's all about his great friendship with their son who was surely going to kill him once he woke up. Evan would love it if the ground could just open up and swallow him whole. His phone ringing interrupts his daydream about no longer existing. Evan pulls his phone out of his pocket and blanches when he sees it's Mrs. Murphy.
