CEO of Atlanta MARTA commits suicide by jumping in front of train

[ANGRY MAN]

The real victim is the driver of that train. That’s one your biggest concerns driving a train. Scarred for life. City needs to get some lifelong counseling for the driver.

According to my family member, train operators don’t wish to hit someone. But when they do they get off work for at least a year with pay and sometimes a promotion not returning to being a train operator anymore. They just work the system and say they stressed.

People get ready. There’s a train a coming. You don’t need no baggage. Just get on board.

Depression is a bitch. I suffer from it. Couple times I thought about punching my own ticket, and the only reason I don't is because of a chance encounter I had in 2003

I met a fine ass chick on the bus. I asked her where she worked and she said, "the suicide floor"

"The suicide floor," I asked?

She proceeded to tell me that she worked on the floor with a bunch of people who attempted suicide and failed and now are far worse off than they were before they attempted suicide

She said "one guy did a swan dive off of a 10-story building, now he's quadriplegic

Another guy shot himself in the mouth, now he's quadriplegic

Another guy shot himself in the ear, now he's quadriplegic

Everything but AIDS and herpes ends. The next day everything could turn around for you. You could win the lottery. Find that person you've been looking for. Just keep going"

I've kept that thought in my head for 17 years. Any time I'm thinking about chalking it up, the next day could bring something special

Today I worked with @Mixd @PsiBorg and others on the cover of my book. These guys I've never met spent time they didn't have to for a guy they didn't know personally to create my book cover.

That's some special shit.

I'm about to be published, man.

“Nobody knows the WHY,” MARTA board member Jim Durrett said to SaportaReport in a text. “What I can tell you is that he was NOT fired,” he continued.

You're right, it was the CFO that got fired, not him. I'm getting my cacs confused.

It's unfortunate because he finally got his life on track.

56 huh?

 

[Dannyblueyes]

I wonder if he was stealing from the company somehow or had corrupt dealings with vendors by getting bribes or some shit.

That would explain his cowardly way out of it.

It doesn't explain shit.

Suppose he was caught taking bribes or stealing money. Worst that could happen is he loses his job and does a few years in a federal camp. Even then he would still have his pension, still have his skill set. Nice white man like that could probably move to another city, become a private consultant, and act like nothing ever happened.

It's hard to believe that anyone who has sends to that high of a position could have a spirit so brittle. You got a break bones and back stabbed to get to where he was. Now he's worried about a little fraud scandal?

Doesn't make any sense.

Suicide wrecks families worse than accidental or natural death because the insurance doesn’t pay out, so if you’re middle class your wife and kids are fucked. Funeral, mortgage, other debt, if the kids or wife needs counseling; they don’t have money for any of that shit. Suicide is a hoe ass move. I knew two in my life that did that and the kids are ruined. He was better off to tongue kiss someone with covid and go out like a G and let the family get paid. Unless his family is the reason he did it, he’s a bitch. And best believe it’s some pedo or embezzlement shit. This ain’t cut he was a sad Cac. He-did-some shit R Kelly would be like ..

When does life insurance cover suicide?
Individual life insurance generally covers suicide so long as it occurs after the policy's suicide clause and contestability provision have expired. Once both of these exclusions are no longer in effect, usually two to three years after a policy was purchased, your life insurance policy will typically cover suicidal death.

• Contestability clause: This typically extends for the first two years, during which the insurer can contest or deny a claim for various reasons. If the insurer believes you've committed suicide during this period, it will investigate the circumstances of your death and your beneficiary may be denied a claim. Once the contestability period expires, the incontestability clause kicks in and a claim cannot be contested except in serious cases—such as misrepresentation or fraud in your application. Minor misstatements cannot cause a claim to be rejected.
• Suicide clause: Also generally two or three years, this clause gives insurers the ability to investigate claims during this period, and lets them deny coverage if you intentionally caused your own death. If the insurer can demonstrate you intentionally killed yourself or your death was ruled a suicide, your policy will be negated and your beneficiary's claim denied.

While these clauses are similar, the contestability provision is broader because it also addresses other events which can cause a claim to be denied during the waiting period, such as dying during an illegal act. Life insurers include contestability provisions and suicide clauses in their policies to protect themselves financially.

The contestability clause allows insurers to void coverage in certain cases, such as if it was given inaccurate information in the life insurance application. The suicide clause, on the other hand, protects insurers from having to pay claims if the person who purchased the policy intended to kill themself and leave money to their beneficiaries.

If you change life insurance policies, even with the same insurer, your contestability period and suicide clause go back into effect. So there would be another waiting period during which, if you committed suicide, your life insurance would be negated. However, this is not generally the case if you simply convert your life insurance policy.

For example, if you had a term life insurance policy that was converted to a whole life insurance policy with the same death benefit, you would not enter a new contestability period. But if you had two term life insurance policies and decide to switch to a single policy with a larger face value, the suicide clause and incontestability clause would begin again.

If you die during the contestability period and it's determined to be a suicide, your beneficiaries will not receive the policy's death benefit, but they may receive the sum of premiums paid. However, if you had a cash value life insurance policy and had borrowed money from it, the sum of your policy loan would be deducted from the payout your family would receive.

Does group life insurance cover suicide?
Group life insurance, such as through an employer or organization, covers suicide differently than individual life insurance. If your group life insurance is entirely paid for by your employer, it will generally cover suicide with no restrictions during the first two years. On the other hand, if you purchased supplemental life insurance from your employer, that will likely include a suicide or contestability clause.

Does military life insurance cover suicidal death?
Members of the military and veterans who qualify for life insurance through Veterans Affairs are generally covered in cases of suicide. Military life insurance policies VGLI and SGLI include coverage for suicide, as there's no contestability period or suicide clause.

I'm glad I was able to be of some assistance, Brother. I'm hoping that your book will be wildly successful.

I'm actually gathering information for a book I'm writing now. It's going to be a fictional book, but it's going to be based on real historical events.

So, I may be pulling on your coat-tail pretty soon. I don't know anything about publishing or things of that nature. So I may drop of a message to you every now and then, just to make sure that I'm taking the proper steps.

Congratulations Brother...

 

[jagu]

In nyc mta guys get like a yr off with pay.. + counseling.. I know somebody that hit 2 diff people in 2 diff incidents aka 2 yrs of vacation.. lot of suicides by train that people don’t be knowing about.. most of the time they say you don’t even know you hit somebody

Do they train while they are off? That would be very wasteful and senseless to just sit at home and not train.

I can't have a book release party because it's a pseudonym. I don't want anybody to know who I am

I have some legitimate children's stuff. And I don't want people pigeonholing me saying I can't write children's books when I write erotic fiction, like fiction ain't fiction

Lol, but thanks, man.

I'll let the whole crew know when it's done, published and ready for purchase

C'mon man.... We have seen this time and time again, where some CAC is about to disgraced or lose some money or be prosecuted and the kill themselves cause they can't take it.

It was cowardly to traumatize the train conductor, but mostly to leave his kids without a father cause he was too soft to deal with whatever is going on.

Not all people that ascend to the top ranks of a company are Gordon Gekko types. Some are not hardcore assholes.

 

[Coldchi]

Wait............what?
I guess he lost his train of thought....

I don't know. Jumping in the middle of a train track fucking up thousands of people's commutes and scarring a driver for life has hardcore asshole written all over it. He might as well have gone to a preschool and slit his wrists in the playground during recess.

As to your other point, disgrace is temporary and failure is inevitable. I can't understand how anybody could ascend to that level without learning that lesson along the way. Being a CEO means taking on a lot of risk and knowing that those risks don't always pan out.

Then again we're both just speculating. For all we know he could have been suffering from a debilitating illness that was slowly destroying his mind and body. Maybe he ran in front of a train to end life on his term while he still had feeling in his toes.

But yeah, the crooked CEO angle is a lot more fun.

 

[Cross]

Theres even white priveledge in the way theyre covering his death, he didnt just pass away or die the fucking cac committed suicide

 

[Cross]

It's unfortunate because he finally got his life on track.

Unfortunate for his family can just imagine the tracks of their tears when hearing about his demise.

 

[godofwine]

Wait............what?

No, his thought are on the train. All over the front sides and bottom of the train

Maybe it was drug-related. They should check his arm for track marks.

You don't know what someone is dealing with in life. For all we know MARTA was blaming him for their fuck ups. Willing to bet, we ultimately end up finding out this guy was being railroaded.
