Man commits suicide after being accused of ‘political incorrectness’ at work

April 12, 2010 By admin

Daily Mail UK:

A medical technician killed himself after being suspended from work after someone complained that he made a politically-incorrect joke about a black friend.

Roy Amor, 61, who was devastated at the prospect of losing his job making prosthetics, shot himself in the head outside his house.

He was facing a disciplinary investigation after suggesting to the black colleague that he ‘better hide’ when they noticed immigration officers outside their clinic.

It is understood that the man was a close friend of Mr Amor and was not offended. However, it was overheard by someone else who lodged a formal complaint.

(…)

The black man, who is believed to have attended Mr Amor’s funeral and had known him for many years, is said to be ‘shattered’.
