We just had one of local talents (Canadian Rockies) decide to venture on down the highway the same way Guy Waterman did for realtive reasons. He parked below one of our well known landmarks, Castle Mountain, and directed his wheel chair into the creek at about waste deep. Hypothermia/drowning took care of the rest.
Guy's case was quite controversial at the time, but I appreciated him taking the effort to document his planned activity, to bring to light something I strongly believe in, the right to die, no matter the circumstances, without it being considered a bad word or choice by those left behind (the negative connotations associated with the word suicide). In any regard if you have not read "Good Morning Midnight", I highly recommend it. A deep and well written account of Guy's and Laura's life as well as Guy's death.
