He was in a wheelchair because his brain was deprived of oxygen for over 20 minutes when he attempted to kill himself. His mother was putting clothes on the line when he did it, his younger sister found him after she heard noises from his bedroom. He was actually dead at that time and the paramedics managed to resuscitate him. He was in a coma for more than 6 months and believed to be completely brain dead. When he woke up he couldn't move, speak and could only communicate with eye movements. Eventually he was able to move his fingers and hands slightly. On Valentine's Day, 2012, just before he was to have an operation on the muscles in his arms (to allow him to put them down and eventually move them) his windpipe collapsed and he passed away.

They have these alert quarter systems that they sell to people that have mental or physical disorders or people who need to be monitored. IF something like that were to ever happen to somebody you know again I would definitely recommend that to them.

I've never heard of them before. I've been on suicide watch/"observation" before, after this happened, and my friends and relatives were just informed to take me straight to the ER if they noticed any strange behaviour. I had to check in with a nurse at the hospital every week to ensure them I was feeling fine and such. It was a pain in the ass especially since I wasn't feeling that bad until I had to speak to these people... I wonder if they have these alert systems in Australia. As for Dakoda, no one really knew how depressed he was. It wasn't obvious.
