But what's in the trunk???

Today we took the kids to Charles Mills Dam to play in the creek and on the playground. When we got there, I noticed a man sleeping in his Lincoln Towncar. While it may not be that odd to nap in your car I thought it was weird since it was only 9:30 am. I also noticed that the dude's trunk wasn't latched and thought that was odd. Fast forward about 2 hours and we are getting ready to leave and I notice the guy has literally not moved a muscle the whole time we have been there. So I decided to go check on him and see if he was alright. So I go over to his driver side window where he has his head propped up and thankfully I can see he is breathing. Then I see 4 prescription bottles next to him along with a ladies purse. 3 of the bottles are empty, the man has a wedding ring on, so I am curious where the wife is at. So after saying "sir?!" about 4 times I cautiously shook his shoulder a few times and he came awake and looked around at his car and his hands while I ask him if he is alright. He mumbles he is just fine and I tell him to take it easy and have a good day. So we loaded the kids up and were getting ready to leave and he falls asleep within a couple minutes. So hoping he was fine and I was over dramatizing the situation I do the logical thing. I call 911! So the tell me to stick around until they get there, lucky me. I was so afraid that they would come out and he would be sleeping off a night of drinking and I would look like an idiot. Well, looks like he was actually trying to kill himself...no joke! I thought this was very sad as he was whisked away to the hospital. I'm glad he didn't die in the parking lot. After the police came out and looked the car over I was hoping they would lift the trunk lid up. I just figured if the guy was killing himself it was prob. over his wife. Maybe I watch too much CSI but I thought it was odd that he would leave his trunk lid popped. Like he wanted to leave an explanation for his actions since he had no suicide note that I could see. The cop did pull some papers off his dash but they were waiting for someone to come out or something before they would actually look in the trunk....Maybe I will read about the incident tomorrow but my money is on the lady who owned the purse being in the trunk. I hope I am wrong because that would be sad as well but I will have to update when I find something out. Definitely not an average trip to the park!

i was just wondering where you've been, since I haven't seen you online in a while... I am glad you aren't online because you are out there saving lives... good trade off :-)
