What is the name of your state? Oklahoma
Husband was 20+ year active duty vet. who committed suicide while being treated for a long history of job related stress, depression\alcoholism. He was supposed to be being monitored and attending counseling and AA. He had not been attending either and was not being actively monitored by his C.O. or by his base appointed counselor. He was close to retirement and had several job offers. Everything seemed to be going well at home also. He came home after shopping and shot himself in the head.
After an investigation by the USAF they granted survivor benefits, education, insurance, etc.
The official report stated; due to a long history of alcoholism, job related stress, depression, and mental unsoundness the survivors were due benefits.
Normally, in cases of suicides, the survivors do not receive any benefits of any kind.
Are there grounds here for a wrongful death suit?
