Bill Foxton, a British army veteran who survived 30 years working peacekeeping and humanitarian missions in Oman, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan, finally met his end this Tuesday when he shot himself in a public park after losing his life savings to Bernie Madoff. “He said he had lost all the money in the Bernie Madoff scam and he thought he was going to have to declare himself bankrupt,” his son said. “My first thought was to show up at Madoff’s trial in New York and throw all of my father’s medals in his face.” [BBC, Daily Mail]
