I will not precursor every other statement I type with Apparently and alleged. Please, however assume it in all things I type as I have no validation or verification on anything.<\/p>\n<p>My sister&#8217;s AIM logged on today. Here is the short form of what I got:<br \/>\nLast Tuesday, my sister tried to commit suicide. She took an overdose of a medication she is on called <a HREF=\"http:\/\/my.webmd.com\/content\/article\/4046.1741\" target=\"_new\">Prednisone<\/a>. This is a steroid that was persctibed to her. I was informed that there was a suicide note that suggested, &#8220;&#8230;She wanted to be happy and that would only happen with being with her father&#8230;&#8221; My father passed in January.<\/p>\n<p>I am told that she is currently in an ICU in UPMC in a coma. A close friend of hers is looking over my niece, her daughter.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I have little information beyond that.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>This is the conversation I have had today&#8230; It&#8217;s all I know. Tomorrow, I get to call the Funeral Home and give them this information as I have it.<\/p>\n<p>Note, I&#8217;ve taken out personal information for those who don&#8217;t know the people involved.
