My uncle left this morning at 10:05 am out of Charlotte on his way to Hawaii to commit suicide. He has a history of mental problems. His wife has contacted our police. Hawaii police, all of his doctors and therapists. The airline (Delta) cannot give out any of his personal information even to his wife. So we are ASSUMING that the flight he is on has left. He called his daughter from the airport and left a bundle of cash in his truck........He is very serious, but we don't know where to turn to for help.Any ideas would be appreciated.3 seconds ago - 3 days left to answer.Kelly,Thanks....I will update. We are meeting with the whole family at 8:00 at my aunts house. His plane is "supposed" to land at 8:05 our time and the cops in Hawaii are going to question him. IF he is cooperative they cannot hold him. I'm hoping being OFF his meds that he will cause a scene and get arrested. At least then, we can try to get him some help.KEEP PRAYING......that is all that we can do right now.ALWAYS TAKE YOUR MEDS!!!! They are available to help you and you are loved by someone who truly needs you.The police were waiting when he got off of the plane.....he was very upset and they took him to the hospital for evaluation.RIGHT NOW..........he is OK........Thanks.

you said you contacted HPD which at this point is the only group who may be able to help you. i understand delta's point of view. once he gets to honolulu and unless the police can intercept or find him, i am afraid that he will be on his own. i am truly sorry.

I agree with the first answer -- you have already done what you can do - especially with the police. You can check on either the airport's website or the airline's website for whether the plane has landed yet (try the airport first).If the police in Hawai'i get to him, your aunt *can* have him committed to a psychiatric hospital in Hawai'i for at least 72 hours (after that, he can check himself out). They will evaluate him for treatment during that time. She has to instruct the police to commit him - she can do that because she is his "next of kin," but I don't know if they'll need her signature or not.Good luck - I suffer from depression and when my meds don't work I get suicidal, and it's hard to beat that feeling down without help. I hope you have saved his life.Please update your question when you know more, I'll be praying for him (and you and your aunt and his family).-- I just checked, and there were no direct Delta flights to Hawai'i's Honolulu Airport from Charlotte today. There was a 10:03 a.m. flight to Atlanta, and then 2 flights from ATL to Honolulu, neither of which have arrived yet. They are Delta Flt # 1273, expected to land 15:10 (3:10 p.m.) Hawai'i time (8:10 p.m. EST) at Gate 22, and Delta Flt #815, that just took off from ATL at 4:16 p.m. I bet he's on the earlier flight. Maybe call the airport police, too (have your aunt do that) and tell them he may be on Flt 1273 out of ATL.
