One of my elderly neighbors tried to kill herself this morning by ODing on Xanax. Apparently she's been depressed since cancer took her husband a year ago. The police and EMTs had the street blocked off while they got her out of the house. I have a feeling she won't be living there for very much longer.
That house she lives in seems to be plagued with bad luck. I've never met the people that built the house, but the family that lived there after, the grandmother died there. They had to leave because they just didn't feel right about living there after she passed. The family after that, their daughter died of cancer, the mother was fighting cancer, and they were evicted because of all the bills that piled up while taking care of the both of them. Somebody bought it after them and used it as a rental property. A family rented it and they were a fucking joy (/sarcasm). Trailer park white trash that took advantage of the 2007 housing crisis. After the landlord evicted them, he sold the house to the current family. And now everything's fallen apart with them. Bad luck.
