I was waiting for the metro (underground subway thing) to go back home one night, when out of nowhere the guy next to me jumped in front of the train. I remember walking up beside him and being able to hear the music coming from his headphones, which is the only clear memory I have of the event. The next thing I knew there were cops all around me asking me questions and everything just seemed to get hectic very quickly.
Another death, that I never actually witnessed, was one of a girlfriend I had some time ago. We had dated for half a year before she moved away for college. We continued to date long-distance for some time until one day I stopped hearing from her. I had assumed that she simply got caught up in studies or something of the sorts. It was only a few months after that her mother called to tell me she committed suicide.
However, I'd have say the death that got to me the most was that of cat I saw die. My roommate was driving me home from work when she hit a cat. We pulled over, called the cops, and were told to wait at the scene. Unfortunately the cat was not dead, but severely injured in the middle of the road. I could hear it "screaming", and cars that weren't paying attention would run over it but never kill it. By the time the cops showed up, the cat had been run over 7-8 times and had finally died.
The cat I had known my entire life, there on the cold table, horrible. I kept thinking that the cat was still in the house for almost 2 years afterwards, it was upsetting to realise I was wrong ever time
