Wisconsin State Sen. Rick Gudex (R) dies at 48 from Suicide

[Ellipsis]

Makes one think...


Sen. Rick Gudex of Fond du Lac died early Wednesday of an apparent suicide at 48, leaving Democrats and his fellow Republicans alike mourning the sudden loss.

Fond du Lac County Sheriff Mylan C. Fink Jr. said in a statement that Gudex died of a gunshot wound to the chest and that a preliminary investigation found it was self-inflicted. The sheriff's log shows that early Wednesday a family member had contacted officers to warn that Gudex had talked of ending his life and to ask for help in finding him.

Gudex was stepping down from the Senate in January to take a better job with his former employer, a maker of tank trailers, said Tim Lakin, Gudex's chief of staff. The senator had a wife and two children.
