Eugene

Eugene was a Spacer's Choice employee in the town of Edgewater, who killed himself prior to the events of The Outer Worlds.
==Background==
Eugene was a receptionist at the Saltuna Cannery in Edgewater. One day, he shot himself and his body was found by Phyllis Granger. If Eugene's death had been ruled a suicide, it would pose a significant risk to the town as a whole, as suicide is considered vandalism of company property, and Edgewater does not have the means to pay the body-price of a suicide.Phyllis Granger, on Eugene, Saltuna Cannery However, while preparing Eugene's body for interment, Conrad Sadik discovered that, not only was Eugene showing plague symptoms, he was also self-medicating with Adrena-Time. His death was a result of overdosing on the drug which is known to cause psychosis and paranoia, and Edgewater is therefore not responsible for the fines associated with a suicide.Conrad Sadik, on Eugene's death, Emerald Vale Barber Shop
Eugene had a full set of gold teeth which had been passed down for three generations, representing his personal savings.Conrad Sadik, during A Small Grave Matter, Emerald Vale Barber Shop Not knowing that Eugene's death had been ruled out as suicide, Phyllis Granger wrote to Conrad Sadik, proposing that Eugene's teeth be pawned to pay for his body price.Letter from Phyllis This ends up not being a viable option as Eugene's body was stolen from the Edgewater Cemetery before Silas was able to bury it. Silas presumes the body was either stolen by marauders or that Eugene rose from the dead and walked away.Silas, on Eugene, Edgewater Cemetery
