ANGELES City -- Citing lack of money and persistent pain due to cancer, a retired U.S. military personnel decided to end his life inside the room he was renting in Josefa Subd., Bgy. Malabanias, here, last Thursday.
“I have decided to take my life (because) I have no friends and been in constant pain for over six years,” David John Stevens, 59, said in his handwritten suicide letter found on the table of his room where his body was discovered at around 10:30 a.m.
PO1 Marlon Mamucud, officer on case, said Stevens had overdosed himself with valium and morphine tablets.
“VA (Veterans Affairs) refuses to help and especially Social Security. I cannot live on 1,000 USD a month. No family and friends,” the American said in his suicide note.
Stevens requested that his body be cremated and brought to a Lutheran Church and spread his ashes over the graves of his father and mother in Shawano, Wisconsin, USA.
