Suicides in National Parks Increase
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Freshly unemployed, former business executive Bruce J. Colburn flew to the far northwest corner of Montana in search of a place to die.

On a forested slope not far from the trail, he shot himself in the chest with a handgun, according to park officials.
