Mr. Hirsch was the father of Clare and Dominique Hirsch.

Biography[]

Mr. Hirsch and his wife resided in New York City along with their two daughters, Clare and Dominique.

Shortly after the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan and the world anticipated a nuclear war, Mr. Hirsch went crazy following Dominique's repeated use of the word "Wah", which sounded like the word "war" to him. Out of fear that the United States and the Soviet Union could engage in war very soon, Mr. Hirsch killed both of their kids in front of his wife with a kitchen knife to "spare" them, and then slit his own throat. Mrs. Hirsch is left as the only survivor and eyewitness.

Trivia[]

  • Prior to his descent into madness, Mr. Hirsch and his family seemed to have lived a spiritual and pacifist life, with a poster of Buddha and posters saying "Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Life" and "No Nukes". They also had a poster of the Grateful Dead.
