Scott Goldstein of the Dallas Morning News reports LeAnne Novacek, the wife of former Dallas Cowboys tight end Jay Novacek, was found dead at her mother’s home in Burleson Monday of an apparent suicide, authorities said.

Burleson police Commander Doug Sandifer said that the cause appeared to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s office said Novacek’s body was found in the bedroom of the home in the 7700 block of FM 1902 just after 9 a.m. The 911 call came from Novacek’s mother, Sandifer said. Novacek, 45, lived in nearby Joshua.

Police said they are awaiting the medical examiner’s ruling on a cause and manner of death.

“It appeared no foul play, so we’re waiting for the medical examiner’s findings

Except in cases where you know you are going to die and you decide to choose the way you die to get control back (like say a wounded sailor on a sinking ship who is trapped with no way out), I cannot understand suicide.

Sometimes life is too hard on some. Depression is a illness.....Lost my son from it.

May she rest in peace now.

truly sad, pretty lady, I wonder if their marriage was on the rocks and that might of led to her taking her own life...

My thoughts and prayers go out to Jay and his family.

Yes, anyone who says they can't possibly comprehend suicide should be thankful.

The biggest myth in the world is that people who kill themselves are cowards, or are taking the easy way out, or any of that. People who unfortunately fall victim to that are in tremendous pain that most of us never know.

Anyway, sorry for your loss, Mash. That's terrible. I can't even imagine.

Hope Jay and his family can somehow stay strong, too.

Sorry to hear that... I've dealt with that as well with family members...

It's a tough road to travel and most don't understand how devastating it can be to a family...

Wow, just seeing this. How terribly sad. Heart goes out to Jay and all their family. Such a young and beautiful woman too. Truly sorry to hear this, and hope the Lord gives Jay strength now when he needs it more than ever before.

I agree 100%. We on the outside have no idea and shouldn't presume. But often there is a chemical depression or dynamic in these situations. Reality can seem very dark and distorted. It's very, very tragic. My thoughts and sorrow is with the Novacek family.

wow!!!..just wow!!!

Well said.

What a tragedy. Like others here, my thoughts go out to him and his family. Depression can be so overwhelming for folks. Look after yourselves, folks.

 

[Mash]

Trust me, you didn't. I immediately thought of Dominique when I saw the "possible suicide" rumors.

This is an extremely sad bit of news to have read this morning. My heart and prayers go out to Jay and his family. Terrible tragedy.

My God keep them strong.

Very sorry to hear that Mash. I can't even begin to imagine the pain of losing a child.

Man,

This thread is both sad and semi-enlightening. Thanks to folks like CL, Hos and others that understand it is an illness beyond human control.

Mash, as it has been said, I cannot convey how sorry I am about your loss. Devastating.

I had gone thru the same thing about 2 1/2 years ago and there is nothing, absolutely nothing one could do or say to make me feel the slighest bit better. CL came very close in his anology. It's not weak people. It's not weak 'minded' people. It's your normal everyday happy go lucky Joe's. Something just sort of 'clicks' and boom. You're in it. Neck deep and you can't begin to understand it.


I still have a difficult time trying to describe what it felt like, exactly. All I know is that I learned that our mind is a very powerful entity and when certain doors, for lack of a better term, open up, we as human beings are at it's complete mercy. There are places we could all be mentally yet don't have the slighest inkling as to how it operates if we arrive there. I also can't completely describe the physical symptoms because they were always different. Things hurt that had no reason to hurt. Your mind races then ceases to an absolute nothing. That's the hardest part to describe. The nothing. No words in any language can come close to a description of the nothing.


Apologies for the information you all didn't really need but some folks need to at least try to understand that the affected themselves, don't understand it either. It is real and it does hurt. Most importantly, compassion goes a long way. A very long way.

If people were honest, they'd admit that they've at least entertained the possibility.

I think we've all had that feeling of "why go on" or "I'm tired of life." Yet, something within us propels us forward, whereas others succumb to the urge.

I remember having a conversation with my wife before we were married about strange thoughts that dart through your mind. I infrequently, but sometimes think while driving, "Open up the door and jump out." My wife said, "I have those same thoughts too." She never expressed them because she felt others would find her crazy. I told her that almost everyone thinks that way (not the exact same thought but similar) but somehow we're able to overcome such thoughts.

Where that thought comes from, I have no idea. But just the thought that I even thunk (no that's not a word but hang with me) scares me.

Imagine someone who doesn't possess the mental faculties to resist such thoughts.

It's easy for us to tell someone else to "buck up" or "get a handle on yourself," but to many people that's very difficult to do. I'll not judge another man or woman, even if I say there's still hope for those who feel the best option is to take their lives.

People with a strong grip on reality and strong self awareness can easily resist such thoughts. But how many people are that fortunate? The dark impulses come to all of us, but many struggle to overcome them. For some it keeps coming and they grow weary of fighting it and just let go.
