1,905-page Suicide Note Found Online

1,905 pages defeats the purpose of a suicide note really… But then again, suicide defeats the purpose of a beating heart.

‘Mitchell L. Heisman,’ the man who shot himself on the steps of Memorial Church Saturday morning had published online a 1,905-page document entitled “Suicide Note,” according to his mother.

Sad story. One good thing to come of this is that his very story had a surge in comments of many educated (and uneducated) folks confronting mortality in open discussion.
