"O'Brien Rancher Suicides

Hanging himself from a beam in his barn near O.Brien, Cammille Vansevenhant, rancher and father of seven children, committed suicide at 3:15 Friday morning. His body was cut down at 10 a.m. when his daughter Rose discovered her father hanging to the rafters. He died of strangulation.
