This is so sad, but I can't help being curious

"...he killed himself by hanging himself with a necktie in his car."

WTF? I didn't even know such a thing was possible. Never even occurred to me. Big car? Small guy? Not to be too macabre, but how does this work?

Even so, very sad for all involved, especially the kids.

Police: Bay Area teacher who killed himself had sex with students

By ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALBANY — Police say a Bay Area teacher who committed suicide had sex with two students and also took voyeuristic videos of adults and kids.

The Contra Costa Times reports (http://bit.ly/WJuurC) Thursday that police discovered 28-year-old James Izumizaki had a sexual relationship with students over a six-month span last year. Izumizaki was arrested in late September and days later he killed himself by hanging himself with a necktie in his car.

Izumizaki was a former teacher and coach at Albany Middle School. The police investigation found that some of the alleged crimes took place at the school. Police said they also found Izumizaki had child pornography unrelated to the abuse investigation.

Authorities said Izumizaki left two suicide letters saying he was sorry and had been depressed.

Or do you have to be really drunk or stoned to not have the automatic reflex to save yourself? Bizarre.

to your brain until you pass out. That can take less than a minute. Then, if you're positioned correctly, your weight will cause the constriction to continue until you are dead.
