22-year-old man drank alcohol all day with members of his family. During this time, he got into a heated conflict with his brother and sister-in-law. Driven by strong emotions and alcohol, he took a shotgun and told them that he would shoot them without hesitation if they tried to stop him. The following day, he was found hanged in a wooded area near his home.
