no. he got hit by a train in the dalles, oregon, on august 11th. article in local paper (behind paywall) here. article's archived google cache here. the train engineer believes it was suicide.

his mom had been terminally ill for months and died in late august.

pro tip for suicide by train: don't face the direction of the oncoming train. obviously it's much scarier to see it coming and there's a good chance you'll move.

What if he hurled himself under a train once the locomotive had already passed?

I think some people here are missing this, but spouting racial epithets is a common feature of how schizophrenia presents, for some reason. If you see a homeless person on the streets with schizophrenia, hearing them shouting slurs is not at all uncommon - and often times, if you asked them you'd find they're not even racist. It's more like a tourette's tick or something. That's why Terry spoke and wrote slurs like he did.

talk about missing the loving point. mental illness is real, and it's something you're having a hard time understanding for some reason. having a broke brain means your brain isn't working right. that might mean you believe all brown people are bad, but it also might mean that you think the CIA is after you. probably both things. that doesn't mean that racists are mentally ill, but it does mean that being mentally ill might lead you to believe all sorts of crazy poo poo. that's part of the deal.

the fact that you need this explained to you doesn't mean that you're mentally ill, it means you're loving stupid.
