To reach a suicide prevention hotline, call 888-568-1112  or 800-273-TALK (8255), or visit www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org . The Brooklin selectman who died last weekend in a murder-suicide had a long history of public service, worked in the public relations field and had once been Bangor's mayor. William M. 'Bill' Cohen, 75, and his wife Pamela Cohen, 71, were found dead Sunday  in their home near Naskeag Point, according to Maine State Police. Aside from identifying them by name  on Tuesday and saying they died in a murder-suicide, police have released little information about the Cohens' deaths.
