This is amazing, sad, and befuddling. My sense is that while I'm sure his family are very sad, they probably aren't 100% surprised either.

I can only imagine how tough it is for his family. That being said, I admire the effort he put in to explain his perspective on everything.

It was probably good for him to process a lot of this stuff through writing. Still, such a sad place to see someone go.

There should be automatic algorithms in place to detect availability of such public posts in realtime and perhaps notify the local authorities. So that they can stop the suicide, of course.

If a person is not sovereign over their own body, aren't they the most wretched slave imaginable? Certainly he hurt those around him, but ultimately I believe that it was his right to die in the way he chose.
