just passing on a text I received from a friend last night. “An American committed suicide last night near Banilad barangay hall, long blondish grayish hair, longbeard, overweight. Anyone know anything about this?” That is all I received.
he was a guy by the name of chet williamson (sp?) age 41. apparently he may have threatened to commit suicide on several previous occasions. i've never met the man, a neighbor was asked for assistance when found by his girlfriend tuesday afternoon. he may have been deceased for over 24 hours by the time he was discovered according to investigators.
I believe this was my friend, his name was Chet Zentz. We are completely devastated at this news. Are they sure it was a suicide? We are having a hard time believing/understanding this. Is there information about him threatening this before?
There is no way to send a 'condolence' using ratings but I am sure we all feel for what life difficulties brought this young man to such a tragic end and for all his family and friends who are affected by the loss. His girlfriend has experienced something none of us ever wish for ourselves or another human being and special thoughts go to her.
you're information is probably more reliable than mine as i was translating what was relayed to me as best i could. thank you for the correction. all i had to go by is heresay as provided by a third party so please do not take what i've said as anything more. my sincere condolences to all those whom may have been affected.
Thank you, we appreciate any information you can share. We live in the States and he lived over there and did not contact us very often. Any information you come by, please post for us, we have no contacts over there. Thank you.
I would say yes that is him going by the posts on his Girlfriend's Facebook page; Aiza Javierto Paragola Condolences to all his friends and Family. Never a good thing to lose someone close.
Yes it is true Chet committed suicide............and he had been threatening this for months now. My partner and I where trying to help him get thru this self pity for a while. We had know him for the last 18 months. His problems started last roughly last February when here arrived back into Dgte. He was a fisherman on a Alaskan processing ship. He was the night shift deck boss. Before he left Alaska he had put the word out he was looking for a higher position on another vessel as he thought the company weren't paying him the correct salary. When the bosses found out about this they sack him. He tried to find another vessel but it was very had to do that from here and refused to go back and look for himself. As time went by and his bank account was running out had to start selling his possessions. The 1st to go was his beloved 1,000 cc motor bike. We told him now you are cashed up its time to get back to the states and start over again. We thought that was what he was going to do. We helped him extend his visa and we told him we would store his furniture. But no he knew the ridicule by the fishing industry crew personal would get stuck into him. He wasn't man enough to get back on the horse and get his life back together he started to hit the bottle. Then he refused to eat for days he just drank drank. He had 70,000 pesos stolen from him. It was either his live in g/friend or his cleaner who came twice a week. The bottle started to take over and he stated he just wanted to die. Eventually his liver started to give in also. He was admitted to the hospital for over a week. He started to improve and we thought he had got his act together. Once again he started back on the bottle Vodka but this time he was beating up his g/friend. Eventually he ended up selling everything he had here. His pride got the best of him. The fishing company are just as much to blame for this as much as he is. After 15 loyal years with them they sacked him for trying to improve his statue in life. Rest in peace mate
