PHILIPSBURG:--- On Sunday morning, July 18, 2021, at about 9:30 a.m., Central Dispatch dispatched several patrols and an ambulance for an incident in Ebenezer. There, a man was found on the ground showing no signs of life.
Following an investigation conducted by the Police's Forensic Department, it was determined that there was no foul play involved with his death and the victim appears to have taken his own life.
The Police Force expresses sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased.
Police understand that many people in the community are going through difficult times at the moment, from worry about jobs, money, health, and the profound feelings of helplessness that can trigger depression. When depression makes you feel suicidal, your problems do not seem temporary and seem overwhelming and permanent. If you are going through a difficult time, please reach out to your doctor, family, or friends or your community police officer who can guide you to the necessary help.
If you or someone you know may be in need of professional assistance, contact the Mental Health Foundation via the crisis hotline at +1 721 520 5556.
