Likely suicide.<p>I had a recent covid-insanity-related thought on the topic of suicide.<p>For the non-religious, suicide is going to sleep forever instead of just for the night.<p>What if there was an option to go to sleep for a decade? Would people want that? Would it be even legal to research?<p>Seems like it would have applications for space travel.<p>I wonder what the moral implications would be... (and Judge Dredd would have predicted this).
The article doesn’t elaborate, is this thought to be an accident while hiking or is there a chance it was more sinister? He was found in the mountains, but there’s no other details. The political details about his likeliness of being a force for change in the upcoming presidential election certainly implies funny business would be worth considering.
More (scraps of) information here at the moment: <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/53346831" rel="nofollow">https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/53346831</a>
“Nearly 600 police officers and firefighters, along with three rescue dogs, were deployed to search for the mayor.”<p>This looks like a typo or a very surprising number of rescue dogs.
