Father portrays GB man found dead as ‘aloof’ after he took his own life

A man found dead after allegedly taking his own life in Grand Bahama on Wednesday, was described as aloof.

“He was very quiet since he was a child. He always stayed to himself,” the father of Wayne Rolle Jr said as he mourned the loss. “He was never in any trouble.”

Wayne Rolle Sr was his son’s best friend, as Wayne Jr did not have friends and was always at home, which they shared.

Rolle Sr said he shared a close bond with his son and though Wayne Jr had attempted to take his life two other times, yesterday’s news took him by surprise.

The 28-year-old was found hanging inside an abandoned building in Eight Mile Rock.

“I lost my son today,” he said. “It was his third time attempting suicide. This time he succeeded, Rolle Sr told the Tribune.

The family had sought counseling for Wayne Jr who was attending doctors and getting therapy once a month.

But he disappeared this week, and the family grew afraid, circulating flyers on social media until Wayne Jr. was discovered.

“I had no sign that he would do this. I last spoke with him when I was going to work that morning. We fist bumped, and I told him I would see him when I get off.”

Wayne’s sister is devastated after learning of the incident.

“She is taking it hard. She is not saying much but has cried a lot,” Rolle Sr said. “It really doesn’t feel real. But I thank God I had 28 years with him.”

Wayne Jr last celebrated his birthday on September 19.
