ReplyDeleteIt's sad anytime we hear that someone has taken their "own" life. Many people have worries and problems that sometimes overwhelm them, and when they do not share these issues it sometimes become detrimental. The reason they chose not to share may be because of embarrassment or other reasons, but to hold these issues in and not releasing them from the mind can be deadly.
ReplyDeleteAs a Manager, he should have had a CPA or accountant that could have help him deal with IRS with payment plans or forfeiture of some of his items. And as far as his ex, sometimes relationships run their course. But he should have thought about his kids. I truly wish he would have sought out help before he made this fatal decision.
