Suicide inside Gulf Air

A passenger was found dead inside a Gulf Air plane that landed in Manila today (Wednesday, October 20, 2010). The police are saying that it’s a case of suicide. The passenger is identified as Marlon Cueva, a 36 years old Filipino overseas worker. He was found lifeless inside the plane’s comfort room. Cueva is an electrician that has been working in Abu Dhabi for more than a year and was on his way home when he ended his life. According to police reports, passengers had noticed Cueva’s uneasiness even before the plane took off. Cueva was rambling about the sins that he had committed and that he should be punished. A nurse offered to do CPR on Cueva but by then it was already too late.
Death always makes me feel sad. Suicide makes me feel even sadder. Human beings are naturally geared towards self preservation. So it really makes me wonder why some people would choose to take their own life. Death is just so…final. Every problem has a solution. Taking your own life will not only hurt the people you love, it is also a crime. Because only God has the authority to end a life. The least we can do is pray for these people. May the Lord have mercy on their souls.
