My son-in-law did the same thing only a year after his paralyses. Hard to handle but they were able to decide.

So sad. Why did he not have a safety harness on??? There are so many examples of why you wear them! I have a paralyzed friend who fell from a treestand 20 years ago. He still hunts from a wheel chair.

That is the same choice I would make. Some will say that it is cowardice to end life instead of continuing. For me it is more about being a burden on someone to care for me, and the fact that I wouldn't truly be living if I were paralyzed.
That is why I have a living will, and my family knows my wishes.

Yes, he should have been wearing a harness. But it may be possible that he fell while climbing up to the stand when he fell.

I'm a chicken when it comes to heights. I wear a climbing belt on the way up. I then hook up my line once at top before I disconnect my climbing belt. I fell 2 stories while in the Seabees, don't care to repeat that.
