David, on Tiffany

[wobblymusic.livejournal.com]

From the latest New Yorker:

"In late May of this year, a few weeks shy of her fiftieth birthday, my youngest sister, Tiffany, committed suicide. She was living in a room in a beat-up house on the hard side of Somerville, Massachusetts, and had been dead, the coroner guessed, for at least five days before her door was battered down."

Link here. The comment with the video link was made last week, but my original post was way back in June, after someone on the Someday Cafe Facebook group called attention to the Raleigh newspaper's obituary.

I didn't watch the video all the way to the end, but if he really said this, my respect for him has sunk below the floor.

I'm sure he's terribly worried about what you think of him.

Look at 24:00 on the video. It's the final minute.

I was wondering whether or not to say the following, but, after that "money" comment -

from the New Yorker piece, it seemed that the siblings were more upset that Tiffany had spoiled their planned family reunion (to which she wasn't invited; and, yes, it appears she wouldn't have come if she had been) than that she had killed herself.

Nice people.
