think neighbor might have committed suicide?

So this is a weird question but for like over a week my neighbors car hasn't moved from the drive way, no lights have been on in the house. His wife left like a month ago with the dogs, then the hot tub got hauled away, thinking he maybe went bankrupt. And now no movement in the house at all, and the gate is wide open, and like I said no lights NOTHING. So what should I do if I think he might have committed suicide, or am I just worrying too much?

I am really not on good speaking terms with him and in fact we have had to complain to the police about him and his wife before she left, about a year ago, because they had very loud parties at 3 am on tuesday and wednesday nights, even after we had paid them a visit and asked them to keep to the condoned hours. So no not really on very good speaking terms.

I would probably call the police and fill them in on the situation.

I'd go knock on the door and see if anyone answers. If you're concerned something might have happened to him, I'd call the police department and say you're concerned about your neighbor, and explain he's had martial problems, there have been no lights on, and the car hasn't moved from the driveway. Let the police check it out. There's nothing wrong with worrying about a neighbor, and more people should have the concern you do. If it turns out he's fine, then you still did a good thing by having someone check and make sure.

Try calling the cops. They deal with this kind of stuff.

Edit: Not a very good idea to listen to wrecked. Your neighbor may be mentally unstable at the moment and if he's still alive under those conditions, you have no idea what he might be planning.

Most police departments will do whats called a welfare check. If you suspect something is wrong, call your local police and let them know you are concerned. If its nothing, at least youll get some peace of mind.

If it were me, and I were on good talking terms with him, I'd go over and knock, try to make contact. If nothing, call your local police dept and explain to them what you just explained here. They can send an officer to check stuff out.
