And so it goes

Creigh Deeds’ son had mental-health evaluation Monday
Sen. Creigh Deeds was stabbed multiple times early today at his Bath County home and his son, Gus, is dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Gus Deeds had been released Monday following a mental health evaluation performed under an emergency custody order, an official said.
...The son was evaluated Monday at Bath Community Hospital, Cropper said, but was released because no psychiatric bed could be located across a wide area of western Virginia.
The real tragedy is this happens all the time.  Just not to famous people.
Rest in Peace, young man.
