Updated: 3:04 p.m. CT July 16, 2007 Celebrated tenor Jerry Hadley was taken off life support Monday, nearly a week after an apparent suicide attempt left him with a severe brain injury.
The 55-year-old singer shot himself with an air rifle last Tuesday at his Clinton Corners home, several miles outside Poughkeepsie, according to state police. State troopers found him unconscious on his bedroom floor and he was taken to St. Francis Hospital in Poughkeepsie.
Hadley had been on life support since his arrival at the hospital. Family friend and spokeswoman Celia Novo said he was taken off the systems Monday.
Someone on Vocalist said they'd always hear him as Candide, and I remembered that the reason I chose "Make our garden grow" for our wedding was hearing him sing it on the show recording.
"We're neither pure nor wise nor good, we'll do the best we know. We'll build our house and chop our wood, and make our garden grow." --Bernstein
