Always sad to hear someone died and especially to hear that things pushed them to taking their own life. Suicide has been considred an honorable way to atone for your sins in many parts of the world who's societies are far older than ours. Cowardly? Maybe. Honnorable? maybe. I think it must depend on what was in his head when he did it, and that is something we will never know.
Each man's death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
John Donne
