I can see how they might want to believe it was murder versus suicide. Whichever, it is very painful and sad for anyone to go through. I do agree that Julian should have been better supervised/watched. Hopefully the truth, whatever it is, will come out if it hasn’t already.
The loss of this talented, beloved, beautiful soul is tragic. I hope they find the answers they are seeking and some semblance of peace.
For the Kristoff’s not to have a definitive conclusion to their beloved son, Julian’s death, must be more painful than anyone can imagine To know he was in a facility where Julian’s security and safety was of primary importance to all the family AND Julian too, how this death occurred MUST be investigated. This seems the only way that the truth will come out. It will be a definitive way for the facility to be made responsible to the law and the courts. Any sort of ‘cover up’ for negligence or the queried homicide will be examined thoroughly. As it… Read more »
I think it’s the right thing to do because it is forcing the medical facility to be held accountable. Whether it was suicide or homicide, the facility was responsible for this young man’s well being and they failed him miserably.
I bristle when fast food arm chair psychologists use the term “closure” in these situations because such a thing is not possible in a case like this,
However, knowing exactly what happened to his son might give Kristoff some semblance of vindication.
Sadly, there won’t be a vendetta to be had. It will not serve the Kristoffs any good. The only benefit derived from this suit would be that it does not happen to anyone else…..as a lesson. Perhaps it will be enough to live a ‘normal’ life again, but I doubt it. It would be a temporary fix. There is nothing in this world that will alleviate the pain of losing a child. I admire the gesture, but going to court for vindication or for appeasing one’s anger or hurt is futile. Peace will come from within, not by any outside… Read more »
Either way it sounds like there is a case to be made–if the young man was being supervised properly neither a murder or a suicide should have been able to happen. When people trust institutions with the care of their loved ones, there is the expectation the institution will do everything possible to see their loved ones receive the care and attention they require. I know a lawsuit will not undo the tragedy but I hope the family get the answers they need and perhaps this case will lead to reforms that will prevent another tragedy like this from happening… Read more »
So very sad to hear & read this. Children are supposed to bury their parents not the other way around. My sympathy to them & may God give them strength to get through this horrific ordeal. RIP Julian.
Hope this case will bring changes to help patients in Institutions going forward.
Mr. St. John has my deepest sympathy.
I feel so sorry for this wonderful man but I always felt that when someone dies that we love & are very close too we want to lay blame. There may very well be blame to go around but to lay a wrongful death suit is not going to bring Julian back. Only time will heal that pain & loss. I pray you & your family find peace.
it would not surprise me that they find out that he was murdered
