Did you guys see thishttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/article3591734.ece? What an ingenious way to kill yourself. It’s sad that he felt there was no other way out of his situation, what about home care?

An elderly man has killed himself by programming a robot to shoot him in the head after building the machine from plans downloaded from the internet.
Francis Tovey, 81, who lived alone in Burleigh Heads on the Australian Gold Coast, was found dead in his driveway.
According to the Gold Coast Bulletin, he had been unhappy about the demands of relatives living elsewhere in Australia that he should move out of his home and into care.
Notes left by Mr Tovey — who was born in England — revealed that he had scoured the internet for plans before constructing his complex machine, which involved a jigsaw power tool and was connected to a .22 semi-automatic pistol loaded with four bullets. It could fire multiple shots once triggered remotely.

I’ve already started brain washing explaining to my daughters the importance of taking care of use in our later years. Samantha promises to give me my own room.
