The Staten Island Advance reports, "A chilling murder-suicide yesterday, capped with a bomb scare, ended a deadly 24 hours on Staten Island that included two more public suicides, each in a borough park, and a fatal motorcycle crash." In the case of the murder suicide, a man called 911 saying, "I shot my wife. Yeah, it was an accident, and I shot the cats too." John Pizon said he would leave his door open for EMT, but when cops arrived to the home in Bulls Head, they found Pizon dead from a gunshot wound to the head; police also found grenade and other firearms in the home (Pizon apparently collected Civil War firearms). On Tuesday night, a retired police officer was found dead, apparently of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, in Great Kills Park and yesterday morning, a 22-year-old man's body was found hanging from a tree in Willowbrook Park. The man who discovered the body in Willowbrook Park was walking his dog, "I saw the waste basket turned up and him, hanging there... I felt sad and scared."

It's Staten Island.
I'd kill myself too!
It's because their politicians resist bike lanes.
Sometimes the isolation can kill ya. RIP dear hearts. Depression can be outlived although it is impossible to imagine whilst one suffers the torments of hell.
To those who may consider similar actions remember -
The one who lives the longest wins, I know, I am living proof.
Very well put. :-)
Hmm... this original comment was meant for you... hopefully it will show up in the correct locations this time.

I honestly thought this was about the little league team loss.
I drove through Staten Island on the way home last week and the only thing that kept me from killing myself was the realization I wasn't in New Jersey anymore!
Ahh............... Manhattan. Land of the effeminate, passive aggressive, White Man.
Don't project your issues onto others.
