Margarit Winkelmann, 51, walked fully clothed into Clearwater Bay and drowned herself in January 1980 after she quit taking Lithium and started taking vitamins and minerals recommended by the church.

Webmaster's Note:
As someone with bipolar disorder, and who takes lithium daily to control it, I find this one of the hardest deaths to read about. Would I drown myself without my daily dose? I never want to find out.
