This January 2009 photo provided by Charlene Bigelow shows her son, Devin Lynch, during his Marine graduation from Parris Island, S.C. In February 2016, Lynch had gotten drunk and attempted suicide. He was arrested the same day on charges alleging he sexually assaulted his girlfriend and was jailed awaiting trial. He suffered from depression and anxiety and had post-traumatic stress disorder after serving with the Marines for almost eight years, including deployments to Afghanistan and Japan on a mission to collect human remains after the 2011 tsunami, according to his mother and court records. Bigelow believes her son’s death was preventable and hopes her lawsuit helps ensure suicide-prevention policies are carried out. Her son, she says, “would want to hope that his story would make a difference in somebody else's life.” (Charlene Bigelow via AP)
