Reporting live in fort mill, Michael Clark wbtv on your side. Thank you. We want to take a break from reporting todays news to shed light on very difficult topic. A member of the wbtv family is speaking openly about the effects of suicide. If you ever thought about suicide and ever entertained that notion or considered suicide as an option, three words dont do it. That just a short clip of a personal video posted on facebook today by our david whisenant. Personal because 29 years ago today david lost his dad to suicide. David is live in our salisbury bureau and you have been open about your story a message so many people should hear. I appreciate that. It for the last five years because i felt led to tell people how serious this is. And frankly, i feel like the guy that runs out and goes down the road and see where the bridge is washed out and i want to turn around and wave my arms and say the bridge is washed out. Do not go down this road of suicide. Folks sometimes think it is a noble act or sacrifice. Its cold and brutal and ugly. In the case of my father, his suicide took place 29 years ago tonight. Literally three blocks. His office was on the same side of this street up the road. And i am convinced that if he had known for a moment how bad that act was going to hurt me and my brother and my sister and my mother and the rest of our family and friends he would not have done it. No doubt that he loved us. But i think sometimes people who dont consider the damage that is going to be left behind a tremendous burden that friends and family and loved one are going to face and that is why i felt like in the last few years i needed to be out front and tell you dont ever look at that as an option do not consider it and comes down for me, three words. Dont do it and i mean that as sincerely as i can. Pain causes the loved ones in your family. Thank you. All these 29 years later and we can see, click, fix the pain in your eyes.
