Suicide Preventer Kills Himself

Peter Wollheim, 67, a retired communications professor at Boise State University, died July 21 at his Boise home, the university said in a press release. Family and friends confirmed the circumstances of his death to the university. “Peter was always so generous of spirit and service, but as much as he wanted to help, he just couldn’t do it anymore,” said Susan Randall, a close friend who serves as associate director of University Television Productions, in a press release from BSU. “I will miss his hearty laugh, insight into so many aspect of life and his eccentricities.” Private arrangements were under the direction of the Cremation Society of Idaho. A public memorial will be scheduled sometime this fall, the university said. Wollheim served as co-chairman of the Idaho Commission on Suicide Prevention and was a founding board member of the Idaho Suicide Prevention Action Network/ Idaho Statesman . More here .
