I think as a group, by and large we are helpers, sheepdogs and leaders. Our neighbors and family probably see us in that role, too. A trend has been building in recent years, and as people who "rush in, where angels fear to tread", we need to be aware of this. People are using common household chemicals to gas themselves to death(suicide). Closets, cars, porta-pottys , have been used as gas chambers.
The reason I post this, as a retired LEO, is that some of us might discover this scene, or be called to it by a family member, or a neighbor, and be gravely injured or killed, by entering the poisonous atmosphere at the scene. Be wise, be safe. Some of the victims mark the danger with signs, some do not. Suicides increase around the holidays.
