Mark Minnie’s suicide note tells Lost Boys of Bird Island co-author not to give up

 

While a close relative has cast doubt as to whether Minnie’s death was a suicide, in a letter that addresses co-author Chris Steyn, the writer said he is ‘looking forward to eternal rest.’

 

Mark Minnie, the co-author of The Lost Boys of Bird Island, alleged to have committed suicide, is believed to have addressed his co-author Chris Steyn in an apparent suicide note.

 

In what Minnie called his “last piece of writing,” he told his friend and co-author that he was tired and “looking forward to eternal rest”, according to a statement issued by Tafelberg Publishers on behalf of Steyn.

 

Minnie also urged Steyn to continue with the work they were doing.

 

“Chrissy‚ don’t give up now,” he said.

 

“The pitiful cries of the lost boys of Bird Island have haunted me for the past 31 years. At last their story is out. Chrissy‚ don’t give up now. You are almost home. No government officials preventing you from investigating this time round,” he said.

 

According to Tafelberg Publishers, the rest of the note is addressed to Minnie’s family.

 

Steyn, in the statement, included a moving response to the late author’s letter.

“Mark‚ I will keep going. You knew that. I just wish you could have been here to go through all the new leads with me. If only you were still alive to see all the information and incredible confirmation that has come in since the book was published. You would have felt some vindication at last.
