Original Note:
This was an "extreme act of protest" (in Bushnell's words). There's no evidence it was caused by mental health issues of any kind. https://www.facebook.com/aaron.bushnell.94/posts/pfbid0ZuS2QzhFSrgf2VrRR6gkWxM9LzhGeDUUzg3EBsLuvRf8PoenZbrU82bwag5JRzS1l Although a police report (https://www.newsweek.com/aaron-bushnell-death-report-reveals-police-call-about-mental-distress-1873386) cites an unnamed third party saying he was "exhibiting signs of mental distress", it fails to specify what those are.
