"Man Found Dead in Apparent Suicide

A man died in his South Berkeley home late Sunday after shooting himself in an apparent suicide,
investigators said yesterday. Emery El-Refai, 24, was found at 11:38 p.m. on the 2300 block of Russell Street by police and his mother, said Berkeley police Inspector Arnold Lui. El-Refai shot himself in the chest with a shotgun earlier that night, Lui said. Lui said the man's mother had just come from Southern California to check on him because she had not heard from her son in almost a week. The positioning of the shotgun and presence of a suicide note led police to conclude El-Refai took his own life.

-a moment of silence...Emery...may you rest in peace

It's crazy to see how things get...like I said...other people have it worse...and poor Emery maybe had no one to turn to...I remember when he came into our apartment a couple years back...you would never have imagined this to happen later on...I pray that all people who feel alone find comfort...
