I Do Not Regard It

We Have Witnessed The Terrible Increases In The Incidence Of Alcoholism, The Advent Of Drug Dependency, The Protests, Marches, Strikes And Human Alienation.

But Most Canadians Have Recognized To A Greater Or Lesser Extent That Despite Much Of The So-called Progress Of The Affluent Society, Essential Ingredients To A Meaningful Life Seem To Be Either Entirely Lacking, Or At Best, Difficult To Grasp.

I Believe In God And Immortality.

I Do Not Regard It As Wrong To Take My Life, Because I Simply Change My Place Of Residence And Go Where My Wife And Baby Are.

I, Alexander B. Campbell, Make This Statement Of The Cause Of My Death To Relieve The Coroner Of The Necessity Of An Inquest, And Also Let My Friends Know The Motive That Led Me To Take My Own Life.
