Three suicide attempts, all stopped by the same Monk

Three suicide attempts, all stopped by the same Monk
Joseph Aigner was a fairlly well-known portrait painter in 19th century
Austria who, apparently, was quite an unhappy fellow: he several
times attempted suicide. His first attempt was at the young age of 18
when he tried to hang himself, but was interrupted by the mysterious
appearance of a Capuchin monk. At age 22 he again tried to hang
himself, but was again saved from the act by the very same monk.
Eight years later, his death was ordained by others who sentenced him
to the gallows for his political activities. Once again, his life was saved
by the intervention of the same monk. At age 68, Aiger finally
succeeded in suicide, a pistol doing the trick. His funeral ceremony
was conducted by the same Capuchin monk - a man whose name
Aiger never even knew. (Source: Ripley's Giant Book of Believe It or Not!)
