“He left home in the morning, sets his machines to work, the machines broke down and he thought of ending it all as he can’t continue to live that way.
He also stated that his wife suffered with him from the beginning right from when he was a barber but he messed things up because he became too comfortable.
Now we don’t know what he did to offend his wife that he couldn’t seek forgiveness, he decided to do a will on video and end it all. How would the wife and his children living in Canada take this?”
