The NZ Army bullied this man so much about being gay that he commited suicide. Whats worse is the coroner has declined to investigate the events leading to his death. The Sergeant who was with Douglas at the time of death should be charged and sent packing at the very least as it was his very actions and decisions which contributed into Douglas killing himself. He was extremely distressed about being gay made much more worse becuause of bullying from others in the NZ Army including his superiours. r.i.p bro
