Burleigh Heads (Australia) – This is a very sad story to write. An 81-year-old man living in Australia's Gold Coast constructed a suicide robot and used it to successfully kill himself. Francis Tovey was distraught over having to move out of his home into foster care and built the robot from plans found on the Internet. There are several websites and telephone hotlines like the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. We urge you to use those resources if you or a loved one are contemplating suicide.
