Suicide suspected at WTC site

[T Brokenjaw]

NEW YORK (AP) -- A 25-year-old from Georgia who was distraught over President Bush's re-election apparently killed himself at ground zero.

Andrew Veal's body was found Saturday morning inside the off-limits area of the former World Trade Center site, said Steve Coleman, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

A shotgun was found nearby, but no suicide note was found, Coleman said.

Veal's mother said her son was upset about the result of the presidential election and had driven to New York, Gus Danese, president of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, told The New York Times in Sunday's editions.

Friends said Veal worked in a computer lab at the University of Georgia and was planning to marry.

"I'm absolutely sure it's a protest," Mary Anne Mauney, Veal's supervisor at the lab, told The Daily News. "I don't know what made him commit suicide, but where he did it was symbolic."

Police were investigating how Veal entered the former World Trade Center site, which is protected by high fences and owned by the Port Authority.

what a fucking dummy. the world is a better place without him. cry baby ass sore loser.

[SpotcheckBilly]

Suicide suspected? He blew his head off with a shotgun...

If you're gonna get that upset about an election result, good riddance.

God, do these melodramatic assholes ever stop? The only bad thing about this guy killing himself is that he isn't Michael Moore. Oh well, that's one less moron who can't debate politics without demonizing people with an opposing point of view instead of having a rational, reasoned discussion. What an unstable dipshit.

[Spork]

Oh well, at 25 I guess his world was collapsing around him when he found out the he actually WOULD get Social Security when he retired... so long as he didn't blow his head off.

What a douche nozzle. It's an election in a free society, there's another one in 4 years. If you don't like the results, try harder next time.

What a great protest move. How about a big group protest. I'll buy the Coolaid (with lots of extra sugar and a bunch of jelly donuts for Michael Moore).

It is Fucking hilarious that his name is Veal.

where is the laugh track when u need it

ya hahahaha ahahahaha

Wait a second, you guys actually think he killed himself over the results of the elelctions? the first thing that came to my head was that this guy was already fucked up before this and would have killed himself regardless of who would have won. The election just being that final spark.

[Ballbuster1]

This guy needs to get a life.........oh, wait. Nevermind.........:icon_roll

My feeling is, if he didnt leave a suicide note, all anyone has to go on is friends and family who say they *think* he killed himself over the election. Sounds lame enough to me that I think the family is full of sh** and is using the guys death to protest the election on their own. I blame them. No wonder the guy killed himself.
