In Murfreesboro, a man found dead on the VA property this past week is the same man who said he asked for help, but did not get it.
Sergeant John Toombs recorded a video (ABOVE) just before committing suicide. He claimed, “I came for help and they threw me out just like a stray dog in the rain.” Toombs also stated, “The knew the extent of my problems.”
Sgt. Toombs served in Afghanistan with the US Army. He was said to have been kicked out of the VA just days before Thanksgiving, according to a phone call received by his father exactly two days before the holiday.
Sgt. Toombs later hung himself in a vacant building on the VA campus in Murfreesboro.
U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs’ Health System Director, Jennifer Vedral-Baron, released the following statement Monday afternoon:
A tragic incident occurred at the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System (TVHS) Alvin C. York campus in Murfreesboro, TN. At approximately 6:40 a.m., Wednesday, November 23, 2016, personnel arriving for work discovered Mr. John Toombs, an Army Veteran, deceased in an apparent suicide.
