Reply #40: Boston Herald story sheds more light on this

Apparently, the husband had filed for bankruptcy three times since 2004 (they bought the house in 2002), and faced foreclosure before.

The husband of a Taunton woman who police say shot herself after faxing a suicide note to the company foreclosing on her home had a troubled financial history, including three recent bankruptcy attempts and an earlier foreclosure filing, the Herald has learned.

Court filings show that John Balderrama had a history of financial problems. Three times since 2004, he sought protection from his creditors by filing for bankruptcy, according to court records. When the court dismissed his third bankruptcy filing in 2006, Balderrama was still $45,000 in debt.

I'm sorry she killed herself, but 3 bankruptcy filings in 4 years? The fact that the husband was filing for bankruptcy had to have been a clue that the finances weren't in order. I can't bring myself to blame the mortgage company for this situation.
