Donna, I'm sorry you had to go through that, and I can understand you wanted to know, I would have too. I'm not sure, but from your description of what happened, it seems that your father didn't get to make any calls. If he managed to take the reciever off the hook, wouldn't the telephone company have known something was wrong and then contacted the police?

I'm thankful I was here when John died, had I been out, I would never have forgiven myself or stopped thinking what had happened.

At least, I hope it is a comfort for you that your father went quickly and didn't suffer.

((((hugs))))
