An 84 year old veteran of World War II tried to kill himself by swallowing a hundred sleeping pills. He was pushed to suicide because of the large bills that his power company had been demanding for years, and when them breaking into his home to install a prepayment meter was the last straw. The ridiculous thing was that the bill was wrong. In fact, it was the power company that owed the man a large amount of money.
After taking the pills and spending two nights in the cold, with no heating in the winter, he was found three days later by a relative. He was taken to the hospital unconscious, and they managed to save him. After the old man's suicide attempt, the power company may end up having to pay its due, which would be a rare good result from a failed suicide attempt.
