Default Tonight I Learned That An Acquaintance Of Mine Hung Himself

Last time I saw him was last winter. He was "off"
He was taking care of his terminally ill mother for over a year at the time.
His cousin, Jim, who is a good friend of mine had said that cousin Kevin's sister came into town from the west coast, started wielding her authority, and before Kevin knew it, had mom sign everything over to her, and then she went back home, leaving Kevin just pissed and messed up. Kevin continued to take care of their mom.
FF to today.
He threw a noose over a bridge and jumped.

Kevin was the happy go lucky party guy that chicks loved, and guys loved to party with. He was funny, good looking, and just a nice guy.
I'm just wondering if I can keep my mouth shut to his sister at the wake.
Fk'n A...... So sad.

Sorry to hear.

I'm undecided on what to suggest on his sister....maybe an ice cold stare with a low toned "happy now?"

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking to do.
But the C word at the end comes to mind

Man, that sucks. Sorry about your buddy, as that is a pretty damn bitter pill to swallow. Sounds like his sister is a real piece of work...

Make sure people hear you tell her it's her fault so everyone knows it's her fault.

Sorry about your friend but at the same time it's not only out of your hands but it's also none of your business.
It's happened to me before for over 1million.......shit happens.

After sleeping on it, I think that I'll pay my respects and just keep my mouth shut.
Kevin would not have liked it that way, but for all intents and purposes, it really is none of my business.
Karma has a funny way of making things right.

It's kind of like when my Mom told me some of the shit my stepbrother pulled when my step Dad died back in 1992. For years, I literally wanted to break both his legs with a baseball bat. Fortunately for him, I never saw his sorry ass again. I did find out from my step sister whom I'm very close to, that he is all crippled up now and can barely walk. Made my day since I've nothing but contempt for him. Plus, I didn't have to do it myself!!!

Sorry you lost your friend, OP, especially in such a manner.

It's unfortunate how the end of life for some brings out the worst in others. I have a sister-in-law who married late in life to a great guy who we all loved. Sadly, within a year or so, he was diagosed with an essentially untreatable cancer, and was gone in a few months.

He had a few adult children from a previous marriage, and had basically no relationship with them, for reasons unknown to us. He had reached out to them regularly as he got older, but they had no interest in connecting with him. When he died, one of his children showed up with "letters he had dictated to her" stating his intent to give each of his children 10's of thousands of $$. No signatures on these letters, of course, and no indication of when he had dictated them. Turns out he had added my SIL as joint owner and/or beneficiary on all of his investments, retirement accounts, bank accounts, etc., and his remaining estate consisted of barely enough to cover funeral expenses. I'm certain that he did this intentionally to ensure that his estranged children got nothing. Excellent planning, in my opinion.
