3. Here it is

Landshut, Germany - A man who climbed a spruce tree, tied himself to the trunk and shot himself dead has been discovered 29 years after the suicide, German police said Thursday. "It looks as if he meant to never be found again," said a police spokesman in Landshut, north-east of Munich, where a man exploring steep forest discovered human bones on the ground.

Police then found the rest of the skeleton tied in a thicket of branches 11 metres above ground level with a gun next to it. The victim was 69 when he vanished in the summer of 1980.

He ties himself to a tree after climbing it and then shot himself???? I wonder if he poisoned himself too.

7. Did he do it so that his life insurance would pay off?

In this environment, there may be copycats...

8. He should have hung in there.

But, how can anyone say really? When people take their own life, they are obviously in lots of pain and I don't make judgments on their reason for wanting to die rather live.

15. He DID hang in there. In the tree. Quite literally. At least until his bottom half rotted off.
