Mark Lavoie of New Hampshire posted his plan on Facebook, then went to the hospital where his wife was on life support, shot her to death, and then took his own life.

“Please don’t mourn for me,” he wrote early Tuesday, in a post that suggested his wife wanted to die and that he was going to help her. “My spirit will be in a much better place with my soul mate.”

Desperate friends who saw the post phoned the police. They typed

plaintive pleas on Lavoie’s Facebook page.

“Mark please don’t.”

“Call me!”

    Seems to me there was a similar situation about a week ago and the comment thread emphasized the importance of having a living will and notarized accompanying documentation in place so that prolonged suffering on life support is avoided.
    So sad for these folks and their families.
