Suicide Custody

NPR'S Don Gonyea reports on the settlement today of a custody case involving a family member who, it was feared, would be allowed to commit suicide if he fell into the wrong hands. Siblings went to court in Michigan this month, to determine who would get custody of their father, Gerald Klooster, diagnosed with Ahlzheimers disease. Klooster's son says he was afraid some family members would try to assist in his father's suicide.
