    There's a phenomenon called "terminal burrowing" that is sometimes experienced by people in the final stages of hypothermia. It's an involuntary compulsion to stuff yourself into a tight space. If he had been having a manic episode that caused him to experience paranoia and run around outside for hours in the middle of winter, it is very possible that he became hypothermic and crawled into the dumpster because of the burrowing compulsion. Such a tragic story.

    It reminds me a lot of the way Elisa Lam's last moments were captured on security cameras. Erratic, irrational, clearly confused and thinking that people are chasing after them or want to harm them, seeking shelter in places where you're not supposed to be. They both were struggling with BP. Lam's case was deemed a psychotic break - I suspect the same thing happened to Jack. When someone is in a manic episode or in a depressive episode of their bipolar disorder, they can fall into a psychosis. I wish we, as a society, were more aware of the signs of a psychosis and could look out for those experiencing it who are completely disoriented and defenceless in these moments. Someone should have gotten in touch with his family. A person experiencing a psychotic episode is truly asking for help, but they don't know how to because of their delusion. It's incredibly heartbreaking.

    This poor man definitely had Alzheimer's. The first indicator to us my aunt had it was her losing her car and not remembering how she got home. All the random locations he went to were probably earlier memories. The brain is a strange thing. I also think this may not have been an intentional murder. In that state he could have picked a street fight (due to his paranoia) and gotten beaten up and hes older so his body couldnt handle it.

      I disagree. My grandma has Alzheimer's and it's been a slow decline over at least a decade now and is now at the point where she's mentally in a different decade, but we could tell what was going on even early in her decline. I think his family would have recognized that something was going on long before he started acting the way he did that night if Alzheimer's was the culprit.

    Maybe it was a combination of both. Maybe he was being followed and stalked and he knew it and got super paranoid.

    It’s also suspected that Elisa Lam‘s bipolar disorder led to her willingly getting into the water tank on top of the Cecil Hotel and accidentally drowning there. I think we only have to look at her case to realize mental health crises can lead people to some strange and sometimes fatal places.

Why did the parking garage not call the cops for him. ? You have a man walking around, with his shoe. Said he was robbed , clearly not homeless. He could have got medical help. Why did he refuse help ? So sad and confusing. I hope they find answers.

As he was distressed he could have gotten on the road trying to cross it without looking if a car was coming.

      My grandma has bipolar 1 and because of her age, people have often mistaken her being in a manic episode for alzheimer's. She definiely does not have alzheimer's, and I think it's probably the same in Jack's case. Manic episodes can cause an extreme amount of confusion and distress, especially if you're having delusions and/or hallucinations. It was probably made a lot worse by him not having his wife and family around during an episode to keep him in touch with reality. Either way it's so sad and tragic :(

  • @vampirasilents2021

    Both, I believe, took place. I believe he was murdered and was suffering from a mental breakdown at the time. It may seem simple to rule out someone who has mental health difficulties, especially serious ones that induce breakdowns, but I feel it makes the person an easier target for cover-up. A criminal may realize that targeting someone suffering from manic episodes will make it easier to hurt them because they are unable to think straight.

  • @qauckingducks
    @qauckingducks 2 года назад +3

    I believe if he did throw the smoke bombs and leave his phone, this caused a manic episode. He left after Christmas to get away from the crime to figure out how to explain why his phone was there. He then tells everyone that his things were stolen so he can say the robber left the phone there. As his episode got worse so did his paranoia. Didn't want emergency help and tried to get a lawyer when he wasn't even in trouble at that time. Sad story.

    He reported his phone and briefcase stolen to Mitre before he left his house. He had lost the phone himself (left it at the house he smoke bombed), it seems logical that he had also done something with the briefcase himself before he even left his house.
    I think he was having a manic episode which got worse and worse because he wasn't taking his meds. I think his death was a tragic accident. His widow probably has guilt over the argument and is looking for another reason to explain what happened.

    Anything is a possibility, we truly do not know what happened. I really do believe in the manic episode theory though, especially with all the triggers he experienced prior to his death. I just think it’s very hard for his family to believe and accept the fact that Jack died due to his mental health. It’s a lot easier to believe that someone hurt him than it is to believe that his mind was the reason for his own demise.
