This from a fellow jeeper and member of NJTLC
i wasnt going to post anything but i was wondering if anyone had heard anything or has any more info about what happened on monday sept 12th at apple pie hill heres the brief story
I hope no one has to ever come across this, me and my buddy decided to take a trip up to apple pie hill only to stumble upon a lifeless body , the guy rode his enduro dirt bike up to the tower in full military uniform and took his own life with a hand gun , it was a bad sight and very sad , my prayers are with his family. The medics say the death was no longer then 1-2 hours when the police showed up wich was atleast 30 mins since I called and I was there for atleast a half hour beore seeing the body. I noticed the bike the whole time and something didn't feel right , it was on the kick stand with a back pack on the seat , me and my buddy were out there looking for new geocache , so we were off o the side for a while in the bushes , at one point I was 3 feet from the body and almost tripped over it , he was against the wood railing in full camo laying in the tall grass , I back up and just thought some random guy was taking a nap , I seen it before , but after looking for a few seconds and yelling for him it was obvious he wasn't breathing , so after getting a closer look and leaning over the body , there was just blood everywhere and coming out of his ear , I didn't notice the pistol right away but it obvious that he was gone , its still an image i cant seem to get out of my head

All I can say is, I feel for his family and the ones who came across him.
