British male tourist commits suicide at Phuket shooting range

A sad fact: Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

I am not sure why people here think that suicide is either about bankruptcy, a girl, or "depression" (whatever that is). Not that you mentioned depression in your post, but many other posters did and yours sums them up. There is a broad spectrum of mental problems, ranging from mild depression to total insanity. Try telling sufferers of bipolar disorder (the late Spike Milligan, Stephen Fry, Robbie Williams to name a few famous examples) that their problem is a "temporary problem"!

We don't yet know why this young lad ended his life, and perhaps we never will, and for sure it is sad. But for people to presume that his problems were temporary or just "depression" may be somewhat naive of the spectrum of mental illnesses that exists out there.

EVERY human problem, including severe insanity, or any other mental illness, has the potential quality of "temporariness." There is always the potential of help or cure.

Suicide is totally devoid of that quality. The only help that can be extended after suicide, is to help the relatives pick the casket.

You cannot spin it any other way.
