Not that long after this there was an Iowa State student that also disappeared and drowned. His name was Abel Bolanos and was also from the Chicago area.
i played soccer with paul in AYSO for a few years. it was fun. he even scored on me (i was the goaile) when he was on the same team. he was a fun dude. wish i knew him to the fullest. i would've whipped out my bass and had a jam session with him. well, if theres anybody that would like to contact me, get a hold of me at my facebook or myspace page just look up my name Marc Urschel and it'll work. miss the piss out of you paul. hope the family is doing better.
I met Paul's father this weekend... I lost my Dad to suicide when I was 14. Paul looks like he was a very talented young man who was loved by many... I'm so sorry for your loss.
just found this video by chance whilst browsing on here and i'm really saddened by it,i send my condolences to his family and friends,such a lovely young man ,what a tragedy..lets hope paul has found a better place.....
i live in grinnell, it took a long time because he cut a slit in a pools liner and got in that way. no one would look in their pool during the winter season. i feel deeply saddened for the event. the whole time he was missing the story touched me. college students do this all the time. but it usually is in their dorms so its not a long mystery. hopefully he found peace. R.I.P.
There was no foul play. He had researched the type of suicide he committed. When you add up all the pieces it makes sense. But it never will truly make sense...It's terrible that he's gone. Sometimes sadness and darkness is to strong to come back from. Forever thinking of you Paul...May you never be forgotten...
Im really confused...How did it take over 6+ months to find him?... Some atricles say he did it the night he left which is a long time to be dead in a pool so close to the school. I think there has to be some type of foul play in all of this. I can not accept suicide.
definately no foul play. they said they could tell the duct tape was self applied to his wrists and ankles, and he drown himself in the pool it still had a little water in it. a few feet. i wish i knew him so maybe i could have been the friend he needed.
I just want to say to Paul's family and friends that I am deeply sorry for your loss. It seems like he was a great guy and very talented. What a horrible end to a beautiful soul. May you all find comfort and closure to this deep wound in your hearts. I didn't know you Paul, but I've seen in my dreams and I'm sorry things had to come to this...Blessed Be
I hope somehow that Steve and the family found and felt the love of others, whether fellow triathletes or empathetic complete strangers, over the course of what has been an awful wait.
I hadn't totally given up hope. I had really really hoped he was alive. The optimism of alot of people almost had me convinced. I guess I've just become too accustomed to tragedies like this though...
I have been following the story of Paul Shuman-Moore since September when he went missing. Yesterday when they said they found a body my heart dropped for family and friends assuming that it was his. Just a little while ago I saw that it was deffinately him. I just want to tell his family and friends that I am sorry that things ended this way. I will praying for all.
I am so, soo saddened to hear that it was Paul in that pool. I didn't know him, but just the hearing the tragedy of a fellow Iowan of my age is heartbreaking. I've been praying he was okay and just took off to get away for awhile. My thoughts are with his family. :`-(
I've been following this story since last fall. It really touched me as I'm a mother and can't imagine what this family has gone through! I'm praying for this family and Paul and his friends right now. I thought of Paul immediately when I heard a body had been found in a covered Grinnell swimming pool. You're all in my thoughts and prayers as we wait to hear if Paul has been found. I hope you all find the answers you need to get through this tragedy. ~An Iowa Mother who cares
Testament to the fierce love of friendship. And the beauty of a soul. Paul's. And Even's. And Tim's. Keeping vigil with all of you, and all who love you.
Update: I'm from Grinnell just wanted to let you know that today they found a body in the countryclub swimmingpool no ID on the body yet or much information on it I'll try to catch some news coverage & do some taping of my own tomorrow Just a possibility that I thought you should know
This is the best report/video/anything about Paul I've seen. It was hard for me to watch. Having his face postered around campus was eerie. I feel like I barely knew him but I miss him, a lot us do.
Also, you guys sounded awesome in that staircase.
I hope and pray you find him. If he came to Phoenix and I bump into him I'm sure I'll recognize him after seeing this video. Almost 10,000 views so far!
I just read about this on our local news. I just posted it on the myspace bulletin and asked my friends to help out by sending it out as well. Stay strong!
Still thinking of you shumie.
