The Complicated Mourning of Brian Thompson -- WSJ

Dow Jones12-22

"I'd love to share my experience with you," Ferland wrote, providing his phone number.

In an interview, Ferland said he had been trying to get coverage for a $1,500 wig his wife's doctors prescribed as she entered a moonshot round of chemotherapy. His wife had long straight blond hair that she took pride in, he said, and losing it dealt a particular blow. He never got a response to his post; she died a few months later.

He was stunned to hear of Thompson's assassination. "No one deserves that fate," Ferland said, "regardless of what's happened in the business side of things."

One of his supporters carried a sign reading, \"Privatized healthcare is a crime against humanity.\". Thompson, 50, left behind two teenage sons. His wife and other family members declined requests for comment citing the intense public attention the case has attracted.
