    Isn't it funny when everyone that dies is considered a saint.

    He may have been an A-Hole and an abusive trainer who messed with a guy who needed one more thing to go wrong in life.

    Really I know a few ### holes that have died. It's just out of respect to not really talk ill of the dead IMO. I usually have nothing To say at all if it's nothing good
     
    Father7 Thanks this.

    For all we know, the trainee was a jerk and thought he didn't have to follow instructions...I have had that in the past too...I'm more inclined to believe that than anything else..

    Key paragraph from the article.....

    A family representative of Ruiz said in a statement to Land Line that Ruiz had on at least two occasions reported problems with Polk to Werner. According to the representative, Ruiz was told to keep Polk on the truck until the two returned to South Bend.

    Here is how it goes:

    Trainer has serious problems with student. Trainer contacts company. Company says keep him on the truck. Company saves cost of Greyhound bus ticket. Trainer dies.
