The comedian, actor and game show host of "Family Feud", Ray Combs, during a part of the 1980's and mid 1990's had run into a lot of money problems and him and his wife Debbie left their home with their six children.
He became depressed and during May 1996 he attempted suicide and was put into a hospital for a week. Then on June 1st, the police were called to his home because of a disturbance where they found that he had torn up the inside of his home. After his estranged wife appeared and told the police about his previous suicide attempt they took him to the phyc ward of a local hospital in Glendale, California. Where it is stated that he was placed on a 72 hour mental observation hold.
The next morning they found him in a make shift noose from his bed sheet hung in the closet!
I do not understand, if he was placed in observation, why didn't someone see him?

That is sad that he hung himself even though he was placed in observation. Somebody did not do their job. I always liked him on Family Fued. He was so funny and always talked so proudly of his wife and six children.

@Happy2BeMe On this cable channel they have the "Family Feud" repeats and today I watched a few with Richard Dawson and one with Ray Combs. They were both so funny!
But I like Richard more!

And, why did he have a bed sheet that could be used to make a noose?

As well as my late husband, especially when he was in the ICU,

Mental illness is such a complicated thing, hopefully more will be done to get rid of the stigma associated with mental illness
