Virginia Senator Creigh Deeds suffered a tragic loss three years ago with the suicide of his son Gus Deeds. On that day back in 2013, Gus Deeds stabbed his dad several times before taking his own life. Senator Deeds has filed a six-million dollar lawsuit against Michael Gentry and the Rockbridge Area Community Services Board claiming that his son’s case was mishandled. Deeds claims that the agencies were negligent before 24-year-old Gus Deeds stabbed and wounded his father, then shot himself to death at the senator’s Millboro home in November 2013. The younger Deeds had been in emergency custody hours before the incident but was sent home before he could undergo a mental health evaluation because no bed could be located for him.
