Such a thing can literally change someone's life and perspective. While somewhat curious, I'm not sure I want to know the circumstances regarding the brother. I fear suicide was a result.
I am reminded of this short story, first read when I was in high school, The Thing in the Cellar.

As did I.
Well, knowing that lawyers lead us into dark places every now and then makes us wonder.
You are a blessing here, Dave, but just every now than then, one has to take two or three looks. I failed at looking two or three times.
Reminded me of the day we shoved my cousin down the cellar after telling him it was full of snakes and alligators, then sat on the door with his brother so he couldn’t get out.
I think we were about 8 and he was 6 or so.
We thought it was pretty entertaining at the time, but in retrospect it was pretty cruel.
I’ll have to ask him if he remembers that one of these days. We’re going to the NRA banquet next week.

Good idea. Ask him when he's carrying a gun...
