Suicide note from Route 422 road-rage suspect blamed others

From a story by Carl Hessler Jr. in The Mercury:

NORRISTOWN -- The Gilbertsville man who died of an apparent drug overdose Thursday on the day he was to face charges for multiple road rage incidents left behind two notes, one in which he blamed other drivers for his troubles.

When law enforcement authorities found John Andrew Yannarell's body in a second-floor bedroom of his Ruby Circle home, they found a gun near him, but found no apparent injuries to his body according to Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman.

"They did find on his possession some prescription narcotics believed to be OxyContin and Percocet along with what appeared to be a suicide note," Ferman revealed, adding there is no indication of foul play. "It certainly appears to us and to any reasonable person that he took his own life by overdosing on prescription medication."

Two notes, which appeared to be suicide notes were addressed, "To The D.A. And The People" and "To My Loved Ones," according to authorities.
