Woman Sets Foreclosed Home On Fire, Shoots Self
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) ― Police say a woman about to be evicted from her foreclosed home in Pasadena may have set her home on fire before killing herself.Lt. Janet Pope Givens said Tuesday that 53-year-old Wanda Dunn's home was discovered burning Monday morning, the same day she was to be evicted.
Givens says Dunn was found in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head, and a gun was found nearby.
Lt. John Dewar told the Los Angeles Times that the foreclosure may have prompted Dunn to burn the home and kill herself.
The death comes about two weeks after an unemployed financial manager in Porter Ranch killed himself and his five family members, leaving behind a suicide note that cited money problems.

Sounds like a story from the 1930s during the Great Depression...it's hard to believe that we are in a similar situation...I wonder what the history books are going to say...
ReplyDeleteI wonder if she had any family out there and what their relationship was like. This is sad, i guess the pressure was to much!
ReplyDeleteALL THIS FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY AND MATERLISTIC OBJECTS. CALL ME UNSENSTIVE IF YOU WANT,BUT I CAN'T RELATE. I WOULD NOT KILL MYSELF OR OTHER MEMEMBERS OF MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF FORECLOSERS OR A LOSS OF EMPLOYMENT. I WONDER IF SHE WAS MENTALLY ILL?
