Dak Prescott Posts Tribute for Late Brother
Jace on 1-Year Anniversary of His Death:
‘No Time or Distance Can Separate Us’
https://outsider.com/sports/dak-prescott-posts-tribute-late-brother-jace-1-year-anniversary-death-no-time-distance-can-separate-us/
---

.... Last year, Jace Prescott took his own life
on April 23 2020.

Although reports noted Jace’s death at the
time, it wasn’t until months later that his
famous brother opened up about what
caused his passing.

Ever since, Dak has been vocal about mental
health issues. He’s become an advocate for
mental health education and has tried to nor-
malize the topic.

[clarifying insert, not part of original article,
included in brackets for the following article]

A recent tragedy in Minnesota shocked me &
the consequences of not getting the 'right' help
when one is depressed can have devastating
consequences for oneself & for others.

July 7 2022

Minnesota mother (Molly Cheng) drowned her
3 children (ages 3, 4, & 5) and herself in lake
after her husband (Yee Lee) fatally shot himself,
police say
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/vadnais-lake-deaths-mother-drowned-3-children-herself-husband-fatally-shot-himself-police/
---

.... Cheng called police on Friday morning and
said her husband, Yee Lee, had fatally shot
himself. [implied but unstated in the article,
the mother may have either witnessed her
husband's suicide or found his body after he
shot himself.

The article said social workers were contacted
to 'assist' Cheng & her children, but the article
doesn't say what happened, if the social work-
ers got to her house or called her before she
& her children left.]

.... If you or someone you know is in emotional
distress or suicidal crisis, call the

National Suicide Prevention Hotline
at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Follow-up 2, a 3-number access to help
those in crisis, a new 3-digit access to
help phone number that the following
article says will be activated "later this
month".

Another article about the recent suicides
in Minnesota, dated July 7 2022:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/vadnais-lake-deaths-mother-drowned-3-children-herself-husband-fatally-shot-himself-police/

.... “Oftentimes we know that people who are
in a crisis if we can just get them to talk to
someone that can really help de-escalate &
calm them down,” Dr. Reidenberg said.

Easy access to that help is on the horizon.
Later this month, the three-digit number “9-8-8”
will be the designated number that will route
people to the National Suicide Prevention Life-
line.

“There are a lot of benefits to having this,” Dr.
Reidenberg said.

When the change takes effect, the callers won’t
have to remember or find the National Suicide
Prevention Lifeline phone number, although that
will still be available at its current number:
1-800-273-8255. ...
