Biden: I Thought About Suicide After the Death of My Wife and Daughter

U.S. President Joe Biden revealed that thoughts of suicide crossed his mind after the death of his first wife and daughter in a car accident in 1972. Biden's wife, Neilia, and their infant daughter, Naomi, were killed in a car crash in December 1972. Biden's sons, Hunter and Beau, were injured in the accident. In a radio interview with journalist Howard Stern on Sirius XM, Biden said, "I told myself: 'You don't have to be crazy to commit suicide... I thought about it for a moment, but I had two kids.'" The president continued, "Don't get me wrong!" indicating that he does not intend to commit suicide.
