How does a person just go to sleep on some railroad tracks?
I knew James Tyner I can’t believe he’d fall asleep on the tracts either Heard today something I think the police should know
I’m a nurse. I’m 59 yrs old. Either there was intoxication from a substance or it was purposeful. (suicide) This is a harsh world we’re living in. These are reasons why we shouldn’t judge others rather practice empathy and compassion. No need to reply.
I just hope you will consider my words.
Pretty much Capt Obvious Delaine….
Or foul play, despite what the police stated.
