RIP Chris Kilbride

A reasonable point Radar. Let us hope that, if anything, some more awareness of mental health is raised which can only be a good thing.

It appears to me that preventing anyone from getting so close to such a decision, is paramount. My understanding is that many people feel ’ embarrassed ’ by admitting to having mental health problems. A sad reflection on our society really.

Sorry but I have to comment on this,
I suffer depression and I got help and now I lead a normal happy life with the help of a little medication .
I won’t talk about it unless someone asks me about it,I certainly don’t want folk feeling sorry for me.
Mr carlise has had a very charmed life and ballsed it up all on his own,but now is blaming others.
This is a bloke who used to lecture players on how to live there lives aswell.
Having read the story’s about him and what he did to his so called friend Ralph little the bloke just seems a clown who can’t take responsibility for his own actions.

Ive just googled the carlisle and little carry on :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

I was forced into situation where someone died in my arms with his brains on the outside of his head whilst I was enjoying myself with friends on a beach in Wales. The guy had fallen from the top of Rhossili cliffs on to the rocks below right where we were at the time making a sand mermaid with a giant ■■■■■.

I’m obviously a strong enough character to say, well that was nasty, but I’m sure as hell not going to kill myself over it.

Like has been said, people do that stuff for a living everyday.

You gotta be pretty weak to kill yourself over something like that… Now all his family are going through hell too.

Do I think about it, sure. Do the images flash up in my head… Quite a lot, but it happened, I dealt with it, move on. I’ve got my own life to live.

“I have a tough mind so everyone else should”. This is precisely why people who do have these problems don’t get help because they are seen to be weak. When society stops with this type then we will see more people get the help they need!

I get squeamish if I see a squashed animal on the road. I dread the day I come across an incident where its a human with their insides spread all over the place. Don’t know how I would handle it. I’d like to think it wouldn’t make me want to take my own life, though I reckon I might need some form of counselling.
The father in law seen someone who had just been knocked down and killed last year. He said the guys head had literally exploded with bits lying everywhere. He went all funny for a while where he wouldn’t really talk to anyone that much. He got over it after a few weeks, but that kind of things would be my worst nightmare.

last Monday i was one of the first on scene at a fatal motorcycle/van accident,after the motorcycle had shortly before overtaken me.i can’t say too much at present,as i am to be interviewed by the OB in due course…but the van driver will be traumatised by what happened.it was a dreadful sight.

Such a shame for the kids left behind in this terrible situation created by one selfish man, people need to start thinking on how there actions may effect others.

I sympathise with people battling depression or mental illness,BUT do us a favour and keep it behind closed doors if you are going to top yourself!!

Seems wrong doesn’t it,the only one to come out of this "unscathed " as such is Carlise,the HGV driver had to jack in because he couldn’t get behind a wheel again and now this poor chap took him own life because of the effect it had on him,I won’t ■■■■■ foot around I hope Carlise feels suitably guilty for destroying 2 lives and leaving kids without a father,remember Carlise lost his job because of his own doing mainly drink driving that led to his attempt to take his life,now we are all suppose to feel sorry for him because he is “famous”,■■■■■■■■ to that there are plenty of victims in this,Carlise is not one of them!

100% agree. RIP to the poor fella.

Often witnessing or being involved in an accident is far more traumatic than having to deal with an accident.
Deepest sympathy to Chris’s family.

having seen the changes in my old man that PTSD had on him trust me being ‘hard/strong’ has nothing to do with it. he is/was one of the toughest people I have known and once it became too much it was too much.
