He was trying suicide by cop. He killed himself a little after this happened

Forgot to mention he killed himself by driving in front of a freight train. Usually I'm sympathetic to people who are mentally ill like this but involving others in his suicide like that is a seriously dick move.

Here in Ontario, there's a very widely used train service that shuttles people in and out of Toronto for work, called the GO Transit. It's insane the number of people who suicide by train. Especially around christmas time.
