On Saturday, May 4, at 5:32 p.m., the Middlesex County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) received an emergency call that a man planned to commit suicide at Bethpage Camp-Resort near Urbanna, reported Maj. M.E. Sampson of the MCSO.
According to Maj. Sampson, the caller was an off-duty police officer who had been told by a woman that her husband was driving to the campground, and planned to kill himself there. The threat appeared to be in relation to a domestic problem.
Four Middlesex deputies responded to the campground, where the Middlesex High School prom was scheduled for the same evening.
