Probably the fact that his girlfriend raped an underage boy and he paid the accuser off for her

@SW-User That would be a reason to suicide ? I don’t think so.

@bijouxbroussard absolutely agree with u!

@bijouxbroussard Guilt and shame will do a real number on a persons mental health

@SW-User that was definitely not what happened to this man.. guilt/shame can be symptoms but are never reasons..

@fairone None of us have the answer to that we won't ever know

@SW-User I don't agree.. science is making enormous strides in the area of mental health.. I am looking forward to a day, we can have some direction/answers..

@SW-User I think he's always has felt depressed or for a long time. He's been through a lot. Although the situation with his girlfriend was unpleasant, I'm thinking feeling lonely on the road [with no end in sight], disconnected from loved ones, questioning why does this [life] all matter, and drinking had far greater of an impact. Also, not sure if he excerised, took meds, and much of the time his diet wasn't healthy.
