NORTH CAROLINA – A United States Army veteran has taken his own life just one day after returning from his honeymoon with his wife. He also delivered his wife a final gift months later.
North Carolina woman Isabel Coles says her husband Christopher, took his life just four days after they got married.
“In the morning, he was folding laundry, and things were a little weird. I asked him what was wrong, and he said ‘Nothing.’ Then he went downstairs and tried to get out,” she said, according to the New York Post.
“I stood at the front door and asked what was going on. He got out and started heading towards the woods.”
Coles says she ran to get her shoes, but by the time she chased after him, he was gone.
His body was found in the woods the next day.

“He was very hard on himself, always pushing himself. There were no signs, it did take me really off guard.”
Coles says three months after Christopher passed, she was delivered a bouquet of flowers on Valentine’s Day.
“In February, I got a flower delivery from him, and I freaked out. I contacted the florist, and they said he ordered the flowers in September.”
Coles says she will be running in the Chicago Marathon in October to raise awareness for mental health through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
