Now this makes more sense.
Ferrill has a long history of back pain that was made worse when he was in car accidents in 2009 and 2010, according to court records. He was a co-plaintiff with MillerCoors LLC Health Benefits Program in a 2015 lawsuit in connection with one of those accidents.
A report filed as evidence in that suit and written by Jeffrey Gorelick, a Glendale physician, states Ferrill's back problems started about 25 years earlier.
He would use Vicodin, an opioid-based pain killer, and Cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant, when lower back pain flared up, Gorelick said.
"In spite of the back pain, he works every day as an electrician and pushes himself to get through the day," wrote Gorelick, who filed the report in support of Ferrill's lawsuit. "However, he is known on weekends to sometimes spend most of both days in bed recovering to allow him to get to work the next week."
My FIL spent 20 years of his retirement just like that...and he didn't kill anyone.
If this guy wanted to end his misery by killing himself, that's his business but killing innocent people over it is the highest degree of cowardice.
