In the summer of 2018, the life of Michael Douglas, a 69-year-old White male, came to a tragic end in Leavenworth, Kansas. On June 13th of that year, Douglas, a veteran, was found in the parking lot of a local VA hospital. He had sustained a fatal gunshot wound.
The circumstances surrounding his death pointed not to a criminal act, but a final, desperate act of a man who had served his country. News reports from the time indicate that his death was the result of suicide.
There is no information available from online sources to suggest that any arrests were made or that there were any suspects involved in this incident. His death was reported as a suicide among veterans, a silent protest over a broken system.
