We have no way of knowing what may have contributed, it's usually a number of factors but I worked a suicide hotline and to just blurt out that it's the families fault is cruel, thoughtless and reckless! Families go through a living nightmare that they never wake up from because of mental illness which is almost always the main contributor.

It is sad but things like this are selfish… you shouldn’t do public suicide. What if a little kid saw him fall and get killed. What if anyone saw him do that. It can mess a person up deeply. This man shot himself in his car by a grocery store at our schools dismissal. At a lot of people get out for early dismissal. They could’ve seen him do that. High schoolers are already stressed out enough.

I started something with my sons years ago. We never ever left the presence of the other with out saying, "I love you". When texting came along same thing end your text with, "I love you." I started this with them because I wanted them to know if anything happened to the other they would know the last words they said was," I love you" Just yesterday one of my twins said, "Mom I am so glad I know the last words I said to Joshua was, "I love you bro." " You see 6 months ago, I found my oldest son Joshua dead and decomposing in his apartment. I figured he had been there for 3 Days. Joshua, my son, was murdered. The last text I sent to him ended with, " Get some rest. I'll see you on Wednesday. I love you son." Little did I know within 12 hours my son would be dead. My heart goes out to this man's family.
