A tragic tale to start the Friday Kansas City news-cycle . . .
THE STORY OF AN OVERLAND PARK DUDE DOCUMENTING HIS SUICIDE IS BLOWING UP ALL OVER THE INTERNETS!!!
Here's what TKC TIPSTERS have to say on the unfortunate topic . . .
Martin Manley committed suicide at the Overland Park PD on 8/15
"Yesterday morning, a man committed suicide at the Overland Park PD. Not much was followed up on it but I came across a posting on Reddit this morning before coming into work. Mr. Manley created a website on the 14th detailing his reasoning and thoughts on life. Yahoo is experiencing issues at the time of writing this with hosting the page so a mirror is set up here.
Its a grim topic but its local. Although the sexting scandal is far more interesting. Have a good day."

Another Tipster tells us:
"He worked for the KC Star sports dept and wrote a stats column. Left the star in the first half of last year."
The morbid money quote:
"Lastly, at some point in reading this site you would have asked whether I was ultimately satisfied with my life, so I decided this was the best place to address it. I suspect nobody is completely satisfied and I'm no different. No, I wasn't fully satisifed with my life, but I was fully satisfied with my death!"
