This handwritten and unsigned note was found in a trash can in Daniel’s apartment on July 14, 2009 by his relatives.

Dear Friends

Don’t blame yourselves or think for one moment that you weren’t the greatest of friends.

I love all of you and was blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.

It’s simple: I want the pain to end.

I’ve been carrying this pain for so long, both mental and physical.

I’ve tried many things

I have tried to be a good person.

I have tried to be strong but I have had enough.

I need a break.
