Caylee's Grandfather George Anthony Found With Suicide Note (Video)

Posted by sweatpantsmom

George Anthony, the grandfather of slain toddler Caylee Anthony, was found in a Daytona Beach motel room after he was reported missing for several hours.  Police told reporters that Anthony had sent text messages to family members indicating that he "wanted to end his life." He was found with a "five to six page suicide letter" although police said he had not tried to harm himself. 

A spokeswoman for Daytona Beach hospital where Anthony was taken said he was in stable condition and was admitted for observation.

Anthony's daughter, Casey Anthony was previously charged with Caylee's murder.  The two-year-old's body was found last December in the woods near where she had lived with her mother and grandparents.

As a parent I can understand the desire to protect your children, but I think this incident shows that George Anthony is having a hard time dealing with the truth of who killed his granddaughter.

My prayers are with this family. May their grief over such a tragic loss of beautiful granddaughter and daughter. They have lost two family members. We are not traveling the road this family has been put on but we need to have sympathy for all the innocent victims in this horrible crime.

You just want to give him a hug, his daughter has proven to be quite possibly the worst child a parent has ever been obligated to love.  She left her parents with tens of thousands of dollars in debt and a murdered baby, after from what the tapes suggest to be years of lying, stealing, conning, and emotional abuse towards them.  His overbearing wife is just like his daughter, he is the only true victim in the whole drama.  He needs lots and lots of zyprexa, he'll be a zombie but maybe he can survive the trials that way.

You know, it just goes to show how really, really, awfull

Casey is!

First her baby and then her Dad, who has stood by her knowing in his heart and soul what she has done.

I wonder if this Grandpa does not make it through all of this, can SHE be charged with two murders?

God Bless you George........Remember, when you can't sleep

don't count sheep......talk to the Shepard.

I feel so sorry for this family, they can't grieve because they are trying to stay so strong for their daughter. It doesn,t matter what our children do it is our natural instinct to love, protect and stand by them, just as god does for us everyday. I try not to judge anyone in this case because life can change so fast and I may be put in a simular situation.  The Anthony family is in our prayers. I also pray that George and Cindy Anthony will soon find some since of peace in their life so they may continue their life together when this is over (publicly).

My heart is aches for this poor man.  I have a good idea that Caylee brought so much joy to her Grandpa's life, I cannot imagine the pain he is feeling.  Good grandpa's are hard to come by (my Dad is so uninterested in his 7 grandchildren, it's a terrible shame).  It seemed that Caylee was George and Cindy's world and I tell they are good people.  I just wish and pray that Casey will stop being selfish and confess exactly what happened.  It's so awful, to think of that poor baby suffering.

I feel so bad for this man.  Imagine if you know in your heart that your own daughter killed your granddaughter.  I just can't imagine it.  My poor parents were so distraught because of my brother who was a drug addict..but this is so much worse!  Hang in there Grandpa...When all this is over do things that will help other children in need so that you can feel your life has importance and don't blame yourself for your daughter's selfish and horrible deeds!

i feel so sorry for this man. Imagine if you know in your mind that your own child killed your grandchild. I just can not imagine this.

No family should have to go through what the Anthony family is now experiencing and my heart goes out to them.  My problems, and those of my family and friends, are so small compared to their's and they have handled it the very best they can.

My heart breaks for George and Cindy and I cringe every time Nancy Grace plays that clip with Caley saying, You tired Papa.......... Doesn't Nancy Grace realize how this has to torment them.  She keeps saying her heart goes out to them and yet she plays that clip over and over again. It's no wonder that George can't bear it anymore. I wouldn't be able to either.  I hope he's going to be alright but getting over the heartbreak of how this little Angel died will never let him I'm afraid to say.  It would kill me to loose a little baby that way.  Stop repeating everything on this show that we count on for information. We all know about the duct tape and the chlorophome.  Just stick to the facts and let George and Cindy find a way to survive this tragedy.

My heart goes out to the family, I really do hope Casey gets exactly what she deserves it seems to me she was jealous of her own daughter, she wanted all eyes on her well there on her now and I hope you rot in hell. More people loved her daughter more than she did. That angel is in heaven but the devil (casey) will burn in hell forever. I hope if any family member is involved in this they rot in hell with her.
