The United States President, Joe Biden, has disclosed that he contemplated suicide after the death of his first wife and 13-month-old daughter in a car accident. Biden disclosed this during an interview with radio journalist Howard Stern on Stern’s SiriusXM show.
The president's first wife, Nelia, and one-year-old daughter, Naomi, died in a car crash in Delaware on December 18, 1972. Recounting the pains of the past, Biden told Stern: ‘'You don’t have to be crazy to commit suicide if you’ve been to the top of the mountain and you think you’ll never be there again. 'For a brief moment I thought maybe I’ll just go to Delaware Memorial Bridge and just jump, but I had two kids.
'I don’t drink, that’s not a virtue. I just never drank. And, I used to sit there and think to myself, I’m just gonna take out a bottle of scotch. 'We always had liquor in the house, and I was gonna just drink it and get drunk, and I can never bring myself to do it,' he said. Biden has repeatedly talked about his reasons for abstaining from alcohol, once claiming ‘there are enough drunks’ in his family history.
