So very unfortunate, sometimes all it takes is a phone call to pull a person back from the abyss. 49 is far to young to go RIP!

Terrible to read about another suicide. Why this man did it remains unknown, but i believe many people travel here to find happiness but end up disappointed and depressed.

 

RIP

 

 

 

Happiness? Really?

Not all hangings fo this nature are suicide. Some occur accidentally through autoerotic strangulation, as in the case of kung <deleted> actor David Carradine, found hanged in the closet of his Bangkok hotel room nearly a decade ago.

 

Either way, sad to forfeit a life so relatively young.

Others getting fed up with the sentence : No sign of struggle or sign of robbery … ?

Didn’t want to go back home to reality maybe, anyway whatever he was suffering with I hope he’s in a better place. RIP 

The LOS - need I say more. RIP "All Black"
