I sure will miss seeing all those neat places he went to and seeing all the good stuff he ate.

Coach,

No sympathy,sorry. Life is precious; suicide is never an option. Life deserves a second chance.

I will add there are those fighting for their lives that would trade for his in a New York Minute. Those who we look up to and see as so successful just give up.
Awful message we are sending to society. Was there nothing worth living for?

Hey Warren,

Not trying to justify.

I just enjoyed his show!

I think these things run much, much deeper than "hey I think I'll kill myself today". Depression can be a very strong force. Just imagine what kind of mindset a person must be in to do that to the themself and their family.

The more narcissistic our Country gets, the higher the suicide rate will get. I believe there is a direct link to narcissistic personality disorder and drug and alcohol abuse as well. Just my opinion.

Worked almost all of my adult life in mental healthcare.
Seen it all and heard it all. The problem with healthy people who are judging other people who committed suicide, is that they are thinking from a relative healthy mind. I knew people who ended there life and could 100% agree with there decision.

There are people in this world who are suffering every day of there life. Some are depressed, psychotic, are bipolar, ore all three. They were abused as children, neglected, have brain damage you name it. They do things to them self that you can't imagine. I won't go in to details, but believe me it goes further than most people can imagine. Sometimes the voices in there head tell them to do it.

I worked with people with personality disorders (Borderline, narcissists, antisocial personality's and everything in between. I totally agree that these people can damage other people in ways that can't be repaired.

In 2013, the United States Department of Veterans Affairs released a study that covered suicides from 1999 to 2010, which showed that roughly 22 veterans were dying by suicide per day, or one every 65 minutes. Some sources suggest that this rate may be undercounting suicides.
