Jonathan
B. Aurthur (1948-2004) was the father of Charley Aurthur who committed suicide
in 1996 by leaping onto a highway. Jonathan became obsessed with his son’s death and wrote a book: The
Angel and the Dragon: A Father's Search for Answers to His Son's Mental Illness
and Suicide. Over the next few years Jonathan became increasingly
despondent over his son’s suicide. He also became obsessed with large bodies of
water. Not to be outdone by his son, in 2004 Jonathan jumped to his death from
a high and pronounced man-made reservoir in Angeles National Forest.
His suicide note read: “Best death by a dam site.”
