'An Open Letter Advocating for Suicide Barrier Implementation on the Taft Bridge'
On the night of April 13, 2022, my long-term partner, my teammate in this game we call life, my best friend-– killed himself by jumping off the William Howard Taft Bridge. He was 29-years-old. His senseless and untimely death came as a complete shock to all who knew and loved him.
Peter had left the house with an old license, but the police weren’t able to identify him from it. I wanted to see him, to confirm his identity, but they wouldn’t let me. The policeman keeping me from getting closer to him said I should remember him how he was…I can only imagine how battered Peter must have been, how distorted he must have looked. I’ll never know if I should be grateful for this “small mercy” the policeman thought he was giving me.
