It's unfortunate this young man didn't get the help he needed, I regret that he felt suicide was his only option.
Personally I am somewhat relieved that he was found, his family will deal with heartache but they will move forward in life and always remember the good times. A friend of mine named Brandon Perdue disappeared in 2008, he was from Medford and also 18 at the time and suicidal. To this day nobody has been able to locate his vehicle or Brandon.
