<div>Dear friends of Lee, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Sorry for not providing more details earlier; I didn't
quite know what was appropriate. After talking to Lee's family
and a few close friends I decided to provide more
information. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, Lee shot his mother and then himself. He left a note
that explained why he shot his mother: she had extremely
advanced dementia and zero/negative quality of life and was
scheduled for another painful operation. He also explained
that he had been planning to kill himself for 5 months, citing
the deterioration of his own mind. Lee had severe sleep
problems since 2000. He is now with Alcor, although he didn't
explain why he killed himself in a way that reduced his
chances of cryonics success. His friends and I remain puzzled
and troubled by that. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Lee's family wants you to know that Lee loved his mother
very much. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For those here who don't know me, I've been a close friend
of Lee's since 1988. He and I have been discussing extropian
topics and beyond since then. I was also on <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px">alt.extropians
back</span> in the 90's. </div>
