I think my aunt killed my uncle.


OK, I know these are serious allegations and all but a lot of people think this too. A couple of weeks ago my uncle died suddenly in his sleep, this poor guy had ALWAYS been mistreated by his entire family. He used to be an alcoholic, but I actually can't blame him because living with any one from my fathers side of the family is hell on earth. My uncle's family in our country never cared much for him either, his kids had no love or respect for him (even though he always provided for them and always lived with them) and my aunt used to beat him constantly.
One winter he was really drunk and my aunt kicked him to the back yard and beat him senseless then proceeded to wet him with buckets of water and left him laying on the ground struggling to get up and tumbling all over the place. If it weren't for my grandma and father coming out to take care of him I would bet the poor guy would still be laying there, I couldn't do anything, I was maybe 12 or 13. I remember him sleeping out in one of my dad's cars after struggling into some dry clothes my grandma gave him. He was always lonely and depressed, I felt for him.
My aunt would also empty out his liquor bottles and pee in them or put toilet water in them, he would come home so drunk he couldn't tell the difference. His son always called him piece of shit as if that were his name, when ever he talked to him or referred to him that's what he would call him. His two daughters would do the same and just pushed him around.
When we got word that he died my mother went to see them and my aunt told them that she would always go to check up on him and for some reason that night she didn't go in his room. She was putting on a HUGE act and crying and yelling and just acting like she was out of breath. One of her sisters asked her why she was putting on such a huge show if she didn't care for him when he was here, I'm not sure what she said then.
They refused an autopsy and just moved on to his wake and burial, she said she knew the liquor had killed him, I would have thought the same thing had I not known how badly he was treated, then a few days later one of her other sisters found out that she had taken out a life insurance on him and was on the verge of collecting.
I don't believe her fake tears or his kids, on his funeral day his son started screaming and asking why they were closing his casket if he was just sleeping and putting on an HBO worthy act, everyone kept looking at them like they should just stop this circus performance and let the man go in dignity, everyone knows they didn't love him or have any sort of value for him or his life. It was ridiculous and enraging to see that after all they had already done to him.
I never went to any of the events, first because I hate my dad's family, second because...I don't mean to sound cynical but I honestly think that dying was the best thing to happen to this guy and that now he's in a better place. third, because I would have laughed in her face or said something that would cause an uproar and out of respect for my mom I decided that it would be best for me to stay away. Myself and others think that she put on such a crazy act so that no one would question her reason to decline an autopsy and think about the broken widow she was, but we know better. We think that she might have been poisoning him or something, when they found him he had been foaming at the mouth, I don't know. I don't know what to do and writing about it makes it a little better, I know I can't go to the cops cause I have no evidence and I can't just show up on a feeling, everyone who saw these things happen would never tell on her even if she did do it cause they are her immediate family and besides all the beatings and mistreatment I don't remember her threatening to kill him and all though I know these things from my cousins I have been away from them way TOO LONG to have any weight on my thought or word, I haven't had any contact with them for many years now and I seriously despise them for the way they always mistreat people including me and my mom. I just hope that if she really did something to him that she will pay for her actions.

First of all, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Depression is a serious thing, and it can turn into a vicious cycle, happening to even the best of us. So to hear he was treated so poorly is really upsetting...and to hear what you think may have happened is hard too. I don't have an answer for you, but I will keep you, your family, and your uncle in my prayers, that he may find peace now. Take care of yourself, and maybe going to the police is a good idea, if you decide not to, perhaps you could speak to a counselor about it or something, at least to help you better deal with your feelings. Best of luck to you, take care.

Im very sorry for you loss and the weight that this has on your conscience. One suggestion I do have for you though is to contact the police department that handled your uncles death. Request to speak with the deputies or officers on scene as well as the investigators. Im sure that there was also a medical examiner that made scene there if they thought this was anything other than a natural death. Request to speak with all of them to find out their point of view on the incident and ask your questions on whether they believe there was even a slight possibility this was anything from natural given the total negativity of the household he lived in. You can also put in an "open records request" to view the report and any notes that the officers made. This is what the police are there for. I think if you go to them or call them they will talk with you about what happened. I think once you go to them and at least talk to them and in confidence tell them the things that you know that you will feel alot better. Good luck to you.
