Possible Suicide on Macedonia Rd

[Wondering]

Does anyone know who attempted/killed themselves about an hour ago on Macedonia Rd. It was a red s10 truck with an elderly man driving. He drove it into the stone wall directly at the end of the rd in front of the old petroleoum school house. Did he die and who is it. This is terrible. Prayers for the family of whoever it is. Maybe he didn't die instantly so he had time to get forgiveness.

If it just happened an hour ago don't nobody know.

it was nathan richards, barbara richards husband

Hasn't been called a suicide. KSP is still investigating. Possible heart problem. The truck wasn't going that fast, judging from the damage.

It was a Nissan.. no airbag deployment. He was still alive when First Responders arrived.

[HATE]

This is what I hate about Topix. If you don't know what happened and it's not confirmed don't start rumors. Whoever had this accident could be alive, and never meant for it to happen. I'm sure this man has a family. Nobody has respect anymore. It really bothers me. I'm praying for all involved and for the bad people that like to start crap!

[ruletheroost]

Oh my gosh! He used to be one of my teachers!! He's such a great guy! Is he still alive?

[OMG]

Yallhave no clue what happened yet you are getting all worked up over someone elses not knowing what happened. Maybe just maybe if you want to know if it was so and so call and see if hes home then you will know it wasn't him. Or maybe just maybe yall could mind your own damn business and stop spreading crap on the internet. Cause we all know if its on the internet it has to be true. Cause Old George Washington said so too.

I'm pretty sure that didn't make a whole lot of sense.

[woah]

It was him apparently you are the one who has no clue

[WGAFE]

That is bad,Ive known him well for 30 years and have always known him to be a very kind caring person

I think it was a Mayhew that done the same thing, she would start and then back up and after several attempts, she made the choice to hit the wall. Her and Mr. Richards were cheating on their spouses and he broke it off with her and the fallout was her commuting suicide.

What a tragic Love story, he finally came back to her after all these years later. He must have really Loved her and finally, he rest with his true love, Shakespeare could not have written it any sweeter.

Soul mates are hard to find and even harder to hold on to, But in the end Mr. Richards found a way to hold on to his soul mate.

Is this the same Nathan Richards, who is the minister at Mount Pleasant United Methodist Church on the Gallatin Road?

I think you need to keep your thoughts to your self. No one ever come back to anyone like that. Its not a love story and its not sweet. Suicide is not the answer to anything. NEVER !!!!!!!!!!

I feel bad for the ones he left behind. As far as a tragic love story, how about his wife he left behind and how she I imagine she would not want that rubbed in especially at a time like this.

I hate it for the families left. To me suicide is the most selfish thing a person can do. No I don't know what pushes a person to that point, but no matter how low life may seem, it can get better if you seek help.

I did not know this man or the other young man that took their own lives this past week or so. I did know Mr. Mayhew that took his life a few weeks ago and it breaks my heart for his family.

All of these families need prayers, comfort, and peace. Please don't involve sordid transgressions of the past into it. I am sure everyone that was involved has that on their minds enough without having it brought back up on fricking topix or elsewhere.

My prayers are with you all.

Is he Carrie Richards son?

[Amy]

How about him rubbing it in his wife's face, committing this act the same way his lover did? He must have known the comparison would be drawn and must have wanted it to be. He is the one who betrayed his wife again by mocking her with his selfish act. His wife I am sure is sad for her children, but deep down inside, she must be thinking, betrayed again.

Our past sins are forgiven by both God and sometimes the ones we love, but to make a mockery of those who forgive us in your last few moments on earth is very cold and heartless.

[Amy]

Just to say I am the Amy that posted #20 not this one above here.

I do agree, his wife and family did not need this period, especially in the manner that it happened.

I just hope that they can find some comfort and peace. They do have my prayers.
