Less than 12 hours after this picture was taken one of these people committed suicide... and not a single person saw the signs... Can you?

Mental illness doesn't always have a "look". It isn't always glaringly obviously.
This person had their whole life planned. They had a family. They had friends. They were respected. They loved animals. They loved helping. They also had their own demons. And sometimes your demons lie to you. They tell you you're a horrible person, you're worthless, your family hates you, your friends are fake, you've done more harm than help, your plans are meaningless, and you will never be forgiven for your sins. This person smiled the whole day. This person was their usual self. Not a single person thought anything was off. Yet, this person went home after the party- stayed up thinking until thinking was too much. This person locked themselves in their room with the gun they swore they would never point against a human unless in defense, and they put it to their head. Every body else in this photo, the person taking the photo, and the others who watched the photo get taken- will always have a scar because that happy full of life person was dying before all our eyes and not a single one of us saw it coming.

So, the answer wasn't really important. The question wasn't even important. It wasn't the main point. It was more to grab intention on what I wanted to say.
I'm copy pasting this from a reply I wrote to someone else because I don't think I can rewrite it any other way that would make sense:
Most people seemed to focus on the original question, but didn't understand that just like this photo you only see a single glimpse into a person's life. You only see what they allow you to see. Even if you knew this person how would you know they were suicidal when they hid it so well? 12 hours before hand this person was smiling. laughing, making jokes, having fun with everyone else. People think there's always signs, but sometimes there just isn't.

Obviously not the baby...

Not a joke post either so it's not the watermelon.. Even though I'm sure watermelon is probably someone's gender so "watermelon are people too!" or something..

At first I thought that hat was real in the background and you removed them from the photo.. But then it's like.. No there's no invisible hat man there..

So after all that I would guess the man to the left since you mentioned a gun.. And it's just the feeling I get..

Sorry for your loss.. *Hugs*

I am thinking it is the male on the left.

@mad205039: Legs real. It's just a soft cover brace.
