Details are coming out surrounding the death of Thrasher Magazine co-founder Eric Swenson on Monday June 20, 2011.
According to the San Francisco Examiner Swenson has been named as the man who committed suicide in front of the Mission Police Station on Monday morning.
A person put a gun to his head and ended his life in front of Mission Police Station as passersby watched in horror Monday morning, police said. . . The victim, identified only as a white male, committed suicide around 8:30 a.m. at the station at 17th and Valencia streets. He used a high-caliber handgun and shot himself right in front of the station’s front doors.
We can only take solace in knowing that Swenson is no longer feeling pain and that skateboarding would not be the same without all his contributions.
