        <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
