A shame

Remember the census worker found hanged in a rural area of Kentucky? The authorities have ruled it a suicide, although the man made it look like he was killed because he was a government worker. He had apparently taken out $600,000 in life insurance and his family would have been paid and extra $10,000 from the government if he were killed on the job. As it is, the policy is null due to the suicide. I don't know what factors drove him to take his life, but it's a shame that he did so, and that in doing so, robbed his family of security they might have had if he had died (eventually) in some other way.
