Default My brother took his own life last night....

My little brother has been fighting with his g/f for the last few months. She is just a flat out bitch to him. She locked him out of the house and wouldn't unlock the door on a number of occasions. He suspected her of cheating for awhile now. They would break-up one day and be back the next, arguing and all that. He told us he didn't want to live anymore awhile back. Our family helped and supported him, took him to the doctor for depression, prayed for him and everything.
Last I heard, he said that he was finally fed up with her and they were done. Last night I got a call from my brother-in-law telling me and my sister to come over to their house and didn't want to talk about it on the phone. He calmed us down and said everything was okay with my sister and just wanted to talk to us. We knew something had to be wrong because it was 3:30 in the morning.
We went over there and found out my brother and his g/f were arguing, she locked him out of the house and he went back to his truck and shot himself with a 12 guage shotgun.

Honestly, I'm still in shock. I don't think it's really hit me yet. I just can't beleive he would do something like this. He was at my sister's house right before it happened and everybody said that he was in the best mood they've seen him in in months. THey said he was real happy.

I just ask that ya'll keep our family in your prayers. This is worst thing that has happened to us. Thanks.

he probably decided that he was finally going to do it and that made himself happy.

Thanks guys. We were close, but drifted apart the last few years. That's what hurts the most, wishing I would've spent more time with him.

Sorry for your loss man. I don't know what I'd do if I lost anyone in my family.
Just make sure you stay close to them while they are around I say.
Sometimes its tuff to do that, but we are all not on this earth very long.
My prayers go out to you man!!
