Same thing happened to one of the guys who rescued baby Jessica some years ago:

Jessica says she feels a special bond with the men who worked so hard to rescue her. Earlier this year, she thanked the family of Robert O'Donnell, the paramedic who pulled her out of the well. O'Donnell committed suicide in April 1995. "I wanted to thank him but I couldn't, so I thanked his wife and son," Jessica says. "I told them how grateful I was. I know he didn't die saving me. but still, I lived and he died. He was one of those who was there the longest, trying to save me."

that's sad...

agreed

I seen the show they did on the guys after the rescue and what their lives were like. They tallked about how they were treated like heroes and let it get to their heads where they couldnt fucntion in thier "normal" life as a non hero...very sad indeed.
