Just finished watching this video and it was really inspiring to me. May I ask, did he commit suicide? If so, I am so sorry. Prayers going out to all those who loved him

[@alexpeak16]

@@Outcast227 No, it was a road accident. I couldn’t believe it; I thought it had to be a mistake but it’s true. Forever grateful to Talon for getting his story out there and inspiring others, myself included to get theirs out too.

I don’t understand why people are responding RIP. Did he survive or did he end up committing suicide after the speech? Give him a lot of credit we know if we talk about it we will get locked up, but usually we just need to talk about it, but I had not heard this young man’s story before he was so brave I wish I knew what happened to him .
