Mark Speight Is Dead

After six days missing, someone found Mark Speight on Sunday morning. Unfortunately they did not find him alive.

Mark Speight was found hanging in the joists in Paddington Station, but out of sight of the traveling public. Apparently he had hung himself almost immediately after the last CCTV photos of him were taken.

For a complete wrap up of the entire events, here is the take of the Daily Mail. For videos, photos and an obituary, check out the BBC.

Look. Although Mark is the one who supplied the coke to his girlfriend which ultimately led to her death, no one forced her to take it. In one of the articles I read it questioned why the police who cornered him right before he killed himself did not do more for him considering how bad he looked. They did recognize him and did know what he was going through, yet did nothing. I don't know if they could have actually done something even if they had tried. I can't honestly get a handle on whether he should be blamed for Natasha Collins' death or not. Her mom seemed to not blame him. The problem he is he blamed himself and could no longer live with that guilt.

I don't want to go off on a side note here, but I just have to wonder how a guy in a daze about to kill himself can get in a secure area of the station. What if he were a terrorist planting a bomb? The guy hung up in the rafters for six days.
