The suicide of ChiRaq Patel dumbfounded investigators within the county. “About 9 a.m., when I had a break and I checked my voicemail, I had a call from his TMOG saying, ‘TMOG no longer with us, I’m sorry, he was beamed up.’ And that was it,” Perry said. Later, He learned that around midnight, only six hours before their Livestream, Chiraw had killed himself. One thing Perry repeated often during an interview is the idea that a client is not a friend. They can’t be. It would cloud clinical judgment. But that doesn’t mean you don’t care for them.
