In early May, 19-year-old Michael Buskey talked to a roommate about killing himself.

Police say the roommate, also 19, got a shotgun and shells from another roommate, accompanied Buskey into the woods near their apartment in Plymouth, New Hampshire, and helped Buskey do the deed.

The man has been charged with causing or assisting suicide, a felony in New Hampshire, and three counts of destroying evidence, according to The Union Leader.

Busker’s heartbroken mother is pressing for the roommate to get the maximum sentence.
