Daniel V Jones was a maintenance worker and was from Long Beach, California. He suffered from HIV and newfound cancer that had created a growth on his neck. He was frustrated with the inability of the doctors to treat him and felt like a dead man walking.
He parked his truck on a loop between two freeways and pointed a loaded shotgun at drivers passing by. He eventually got what he wanted, and news helicopters had their cameras pointed at him.
After setting his truck on fire (with the use of a molotov), he laid down a protest banner that read ""HMO's are in it for the money!! Live free, love safe or die", so the cameras would see it. He harbored anger and frustration for the healthcare he wasn't receiving.
He took his life into his own hands and died to a self inflicted shotgun wound on April 30th, 1998, 15 days after his 40th birthday.

Another sad incident. On the afternoon of April 19, a patient jumped from the fifth floor of Nanning Medical University Hospital in Guangxi and ended his life. What kind of desperate situation made him give up his life? There were many people watching at the scene, and it was heartbreaking to witness this tragic scene with their own eyes.
The reason for jumping from the building sparked heated debate. After the man jumped, hospital staff immediately rescued him. It can be learned that the man suffered a particularly serious craniocerebral injury and a fractured cervical spine. He eventually died after the rescue failed.
As for the reason why the man jumped from the building, many insiders spoke out, saying that the man jumped directly after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. It was also said that the man was diagnosed with cancer and had no medical insurance, so he could not afford expensive medical expenses. I was also afraid of harming my children, so I jumped off the building.

Chennai: A woman in Salem has died by suicide after throwing herself in front of a moving bus, hoping any compensation for her death would help her children pay their college fees.
Police have identified her as 39-years-old Pappathi, who worked as a temporary sweeper at the Salem collectorate.
A 48-second CCTV video of the incident, that NDTV can't independently verify, shows the woman walking on the side of the road, facing the traffic, suddenly crossing the road towards a speeding bus only to be tossed over as the vehicle hit her. "She died on the spot last month. Initially, we registered a case of death by accident. Now we are altering it," a police officer told NDTV.
The children of Pappathi, a single mother, are in college. The daughter is in her final year of Electronic Engineering course, and the son is pursuing Architecture at a Polytechnic college. "She comes from a poor background and someone has misled her on this. We are investigating," police said.
