I won’t live long with cancer anyway.” On the way to the hospital to be checked out, the attempted suicide jumper explained that he had diagnosed himself after a relative of his neighbor died from esophageal cancer a few days earlier and he felt he was showing the same symptoms. At the hospital he was diagnosed with a sore throat.
