On Friday, April 20, 2012 body of 63 year old Cicero Rafael was discovered in his isolated house in the municipality of Solidão, state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Six day prior, Cicero Rafael committed suicide by hanging himself from the ceiling of his house.

Former farmer, Cicero Rafael lived alone having separated from his wife with whom he had 6 children. People from the area said that lately he showed signs of depression (whatever that means).

The locality in which the old man resided is sparsely inhabited and without paved roads so access is limited. That is why there was a few days delay between his suicide and the day he was found.

It’s ironic that the name of the municipality where he resided (and took his life) which in Brazilian Portugues reads as Solidão means solitude. Poor man reached an old age and being completely abandoned, he must have felt lonesome and couldn’t handle it anymore.

Thanks guys for not bitching at my stoned ass yesterday for posting a video of a squirrel. Though we’d call it a chipmunk in my neck of the woods, squirrels are way smaller. I thought everybody was gonna bitch at me that there was no gore in the video. It was just a brief derailment, we’re back to our regular programming now. I think 😉
