Yeah I certainly wouldn’t call this old news. In any case this was really sad news and yet another startling reminder of the dangers of stress and depression. Suicide should never be the answer, and anyone who is remotely thinking about the possibility of hurting themselves should get in touch with their local suicide hotline (http://www.suicidehotlines.com/international.html). It’s completely anonymous and sometimes it just helps to talk.
My thoughts are certainly with his friends and family right now.
