Man Delivers Own Obit, Then Hangs Self

Dark news here, folks. A sick Placerville man, according to Associated Press, "delivered his own obituary to a newspaper then hanged himself from a nearby bridge." The body of Allan Leo Peters II, 64, was found Wednesday dangling from "a yellow rope from an old bridge." Struggling with emphysema, Peters had delivered his obit to Mountain Democrat prior to hanging himself -- a brief excerpt reading,"Yes, I have hanged myself (At least I hope I did)" -- paying the $90 publishing cost.
