• 0:38
  Speaker 3: All right, let's get into today's story.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: In the early nineteen eighties, Richard Sumner was in his
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: twenties and he was a scenic designer for a major
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: opera house just outside out of London. Richard was a
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: truly gifted artist and was known to be a very
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: intelligent man. In nineteen eighty four, when Richard was twenty nine,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he started to notice he was having a really hard
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: time focusing, like he couldn't keep basic information straight in
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: his head. It would just get all jumbled up, and
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it was making his job exponentially more difficult. Initially, Richard
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: assumed it must just be the product of working lots
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of long hours and being under lots.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Of pressure all the time.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: But after taking a few days off from work, his
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: mental focus did not come back. In fact, it only
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: got worse, and so when he told his friends and
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: his colleagues about it, they urged him to go see
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: a doctor, and so finally he did. He went to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: a doctor, and the doctor put him through a series
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: of tests and was really only able to rule out
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: different medical conditions. They were not able to pinpoint what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: was actually causing this mental disturbance, and so Richard was
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: pretty frustrated because he thought by going to the doctor,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: they would figure out what it was and you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: give him a pill and that would make everything better.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: But that wasn't happening. He was left with a lot
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: of questions, and so Richard went to another doctor and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: another doctor for additional opinions, and they too were not
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: able to get to the bottom of what was going
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: on with him. And so finally Richard found himself sitting
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: across from a psychologist asking them if they had the answer,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: and they did. They informed Richard that he was unfortunately
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: developing schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a very serious mental disorder in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: which people interpret reality abnormally. Schizophrenics usually experience some combination
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of hallucinations, delusions, extremely disordered thinking, and behavior that can
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: be disabling. Richard was horrified at this diagnosis and he
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: asked us, psych you know what can I do?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: How can I get better?
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And the psych would tell him that unfortunately, there is
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: no cure for schizophrenia. However, medical treatment has been shown
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to be very effective in some people, especially when it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: caught early, and it seems like we're catching your disorder
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: fairly early, and so Richard immediately began the medical treatment plan,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and he seemed to be one of the lucky few
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: that benefited tremendously from it. In fact, within just days
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: of being told of this diagnosis, he was back to
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: work at the opera House. But over the years, despite
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Richard diligently staying on his medical treatment plan, he just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: continued to kind of spiral because of this disorder, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: it was becoming more and more apparent at work that
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Richard was just not the same anymore. He had lost
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: that mental focus that he was known for, and he
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: was perpetually fatigued. And so in nineteen ninety six, so
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: twelve years after his original diagnosis, Richard finally had to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: step away from his job at the opera house. He
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: just couldn't do the work anymore. Although Richard was eligible
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: for governmental assistance because of his schizophrenia, the money he
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: would receive from those benefits would not be enough to
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: cover the costs associated with living in his flat in London,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and so he was forced to move back home with
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: his family in North Wales. Even though his family welcomed
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: him with open arms, Richard immediately felt like he was
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: this huge burden to them, and within a year of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: having moved back home, Richard had fallen into this deep,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: dark depression and he decided he did not want to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: live anymore. So one day that fall, Richard left his
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: house and he walked to a store where he purchased handcuffs,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: and then he took those handcuffs. He left the store
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and he walked away from town towards this secluded forest
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: that was not too.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Far away, And when he got to the forest.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: He picked a trail and he started walking down it,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: and he kept looking over his shoulder until finally he
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: could not actually see the town anymore.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: He was fairly far into these woods at that point.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: He deviated off of the trail and walked for several
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: more minutes until he came to a stop in front
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: of this tree that had some fairly thick, low hanging branches.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: At that point, he took his handcuffs and he connected
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: one cuff to one of these branches and made sure
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: it would not come off, and then he connected the
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: other cuff to his right wrist, and once he was
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: fully secured, he leaned back against the tree and he
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: began to wait. It's unclear what drove Richard to choose
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: such a slow and tortuous method for ending his life,
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: but apparently after four days of leaning up against this
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: stor free and not dying, he began to have second
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: thoughts about it. He was desperately hungry and thirsty and
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: extremely tired because he was in this kind of semi
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: upright position that didn't really allow him to sleep, and
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he just ate from standing and kind of hanging on
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: his wrist for as long as he had been, and
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he was worried that he was still days away from dying.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: He also started to feel really bad about the effect
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: his death would have on his family. They loved him,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and even though they knew he was depressed, they were
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: not thinking he was suicidal, and so this would be
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: a huge shock and it would be extremely upsetting for
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: years and years to come. Richard also started thinking about
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the poor soul that was going to stumble across his
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: body in the middle of the woods after he had passed,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: and he thought, what a terrible thing for someone to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: have to go through. And so on the night of
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the fourth day that he's been out in the woods,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: chained up to this tree, Richard finally decides that he
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: just can't go through with it, and so with his
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: left hand, his free hand, he reaches into his pocket.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: He gets the handcuff key, and just a couple of
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: seconds later.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: He's out.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: He's free, and so he hopped his way back to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the path and he makes his way out of the
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: forest and walks all the way home. When he goes inside,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: his sister is there and she's totally shocked.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: To see him. She sees the state he's in.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And she's asking, you know, are you okay, what have
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: you been doing?
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Where have you been?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: We've been so worried, And that's when Richard confides in
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: her that he had been in the forest and he
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: had just attempted suicide. And so his sister is totally
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: devastated at this news, and she tries to comfort him
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and remind him that she and the rest of the
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: family loves him, and please, please don't attempt suicide again.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: We can get you help, we can put you in
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: touch with professionals, we can do anything you want, but
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: please don't do something you can't undo. Richard didn't make
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: any promises to her, but he was very touched at
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: how much she cared. He thanked her, he gave her
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: a hug, and then he went to his room and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: he went to bed. The next morning, when Richard got up,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: he had this sense that, you know, he had just
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: survived a suicide attempt, and so in many ways he
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: now had this new life he was living, and so
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what better time to kind of forge ahead and build
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: a new life with the current construct and the current
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: limitations that he had, and stopped focusing so much on
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the life that he had lost back in London, because
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that life doesn't exist anymore. And so for the next
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: couple of years Richard did just focus on his new
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: life in North Wales. He was diligent about keeping up
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: with his medical treatments, He tried to spend time with
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: his family. He was doing all the right things, but
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: his schizophrenia only got worse. And one of the ways
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: it was really manifesting itself in his life was this
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: deep seated paranoia that his family secretly did not want
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: him in the house, that they looked at him as
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: this parasite, as he called it. And so he really
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: developed this awful view of himself and he fell back
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: into a very deep state of depression, and before long
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: he was suicidal again. And so in nineteen ninety nine,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: which is three years after his first suicide attempt, Richard
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: decided he would try again. He got his handcuffs and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: he left the house without talking to his family, and
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: he walked to that secluded forest on the edge of town.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: He went down the trail he veered off. He found
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a tree with some sturdy, low hanging branches, and he
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: cuffed himself to it and began the long wait, But
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: after only being there for a couple of hours, Richard
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: started to have those same second thoughts he had while
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he was out here in his first attempt. He started
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: to worry about his family, and he worried about the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: person who was going to find his body, and he
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: couldn't help but think about how painful and miserable those
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: four days had been when he was out there waiting
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to die, And so after agonizing over what he should
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: do next, Richard ultimately decided that again he just couldn't
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: go through with it, and so he pulled the key
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: out of his pocket, he undid the cuff, and he
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: left the forest and he walked back home. After this
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: second suicide attempt, Richard again tried to find meaning in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: having this new life, but he just couldn't shake this
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: growing paranoia brought on by his schizophrenia, that his family
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: secretly wanted him to leave the house, that he was
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: this parasite, and that they all hated him, he was
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: this terrible person, and it was just overwhelming for Richard,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and so eventually he would actually confide in his sister
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that he felt this way, that he felt like he
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: was this leech on the family, and she would say, no, Richard,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we love you unconditionally, we want you here, do not leave.
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: This is your home.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But Richard just couldn't believe her. That paranoia was so strong,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: he just couldn't see reality for what it was. And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: so in April of two thousand and two, which was
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: three years after his second suicide attempt, Richard grabbed the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: handcuffs and headed out for another attempt. But after securing
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: himself to a tree in the middle of the forest,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: once again, his conscience cut through all the chaos inside
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of his mind and told him don't do it, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: he listened, But this time, after freeing himself and getting
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: back home, he didn't feel any sense of relief or
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: any desire to kind of live this new life he's
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: been given. Instead, he longed to be back in the forest,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: chained up to a tree. He confided in a sister
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: that he had now tried suicide three separate times and
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: he was just at a loss for what he should
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: do next. And so, of course, his sister is totally
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: shocked and sat in by this news, and she tells
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: him over and over again how much she loves him,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: and please do not go back in that orst do
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not hurt yourself, And in fact, his sister would go
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: on to tell the rest of the family about these
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: suicide attempts, and so before long, the whole family is
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: telling Richard how much they love him and that he's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: not a parasite. Let us know how we can help you,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: or let us connect you to someone who can.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: But it was just not enough, and less than a week.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: After his third failed suicide attempt, Richard grabbed his handcuffs,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: he left the house and began walking towards that secluded forest.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: For one final try.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: That night, when Richard did not come home, the family
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: obviously was very concerned about this, and so they called
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the police and they reported him missing, and they explained
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: he was suicidal and that the best place to look
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: for him was going to be in that forest. But
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: after several days of looking all over town and out
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: in that forest, the police could not find Richard or
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: any trace of him, and so unfortunately they had to
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: turn the search off, and so the family was crushed
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: and all they could do was just hope and pray
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: that Richard again changed his mind and came back home.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Three years later, a woman and her two dogs decide
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: to go out for a walk inside of that secluded
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: North Wales forest. At some point on their walk, they
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: left the path and got kind of.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Lost in the thick of the forest.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: And so as she's walking around trying to get her bearings,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out where the trail is, she winds
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: up going behind this one big tree and she enters
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: into this clearing and on the other side of the clearing,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: up against this tree are the badly decomposed remains of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Richard Summer. Out of fear, she reflexibly turns and runs
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: with her two dogs and just keeps on running until
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: she actually does find the trail again. And so once
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: she's on the trail, she kind of makes a mental
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: note of where she is and then she runs out
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: of the forest and she contacts authorities about the body
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: she saw, and so the authorities they come out to
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the forest and they eventually are able to find Richard's location.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And initially they believed.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: They were dealing with a murder victim because they see
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: this body that's been handcuffed to a tree. But after
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: police went through Richard's pockets and found a house key
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: that had an address on it, they went to that address,
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: and it turned out it was Richard's family's house, and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: after speaking with them, the police were able to confirm
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: that the body they had just found was in fact
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: Richard Sumner, the suicidal man that had gone missing three
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: years earlier, and so.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: Almost certainly his death was a suicide.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Even though this looked like a total open and shut case,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: the medical examiner still needed to officially rule on the
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: cause of death, and so the medical examiner went out
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: into the woods. He went right up to Richard and
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: he began looking him over, and right away he noticed
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: some disturbing discrepancies.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: There were deep scuff.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Marks all around the branch where the handcuff had been
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: connected to the tree, and the other handcuff that was
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: connected to Richard's wrist had been jammed up over his
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: thumb all the way up to his knuckles. The examiner
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: asked the police in the area if anybody had found
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: the handcuff key, and they said they had. It was
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: laying on the ground about fifteen feet in front of
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Richard Sumner, and that's when the medical examiner realized the
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: horrible truth about what most likely happened to Richard. In
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: his report, the medical examiner theorized that Richard had indeed
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: gone into this forest in order to commit suicide. He
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: had walked over two hundred yards into this forest, way
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: off the beaten path, into the deepest, thickest part where
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: no people went, and he most likely went there because
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: he specifically didn't want anyone to happen upon him.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: He wanted privacy.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: And then, after handcuffing himself to that branch of that tree,
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: he did something that he did not do in his
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: previous three suicide attempts. He pulled the handcuff key out
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of his pocket, and then he threw it in front
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: of him so far that he could not get it
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: back again. And then, tragically, Richard came to the same
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: conclusion that he had come to in his previous three attempts.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: He realized he did not actually want to die. He
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: couldn't get to the key, and when he yelled out
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: for help, he was so far away from society no
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: one could hear his voice. And so for the next
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: several agonizing days, Richard yanked and tugged and pulled on
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that handcuff until finally he painfully got the cuff.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: To slip up over his thumb.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: All the way up to his knuckle, but he just
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: couldn't get it to go over his knuckle, and he
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: didn't have another to cut the branch down, or to
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: even cut his own hand off, and so he used
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: the cuff that was actually on the branch and began
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: twisting it back and forth to maybe hopefully saw through
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: the branch, but there just wasn't enough friction inside that cuff,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and so it made.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: Almost no progress.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Also, Richard probably tried to pull and yank on the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: branch itself to try to break it to free himself that.
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Way, but without a tool, there was no way he
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: could have broken this branch. It was just too sturdy.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: And so, after what must have been several horrifying days,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: Richard ultimately died of a heart attack out of fear
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: of the situation he had put himself in, or he
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: died from starvation. As a result of his findings, the
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: medical examiner was not able to label.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Richard Sumner's death a suicide.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He basically had to call it an accident.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So that's going to do it, guys.
