I don’t personally think that he was a fraud or “got to the end of humanity” or anything like that. He was the type who, if he was tired of traveling, would have just stopped doing it. He had money, he could do whatever he wanted and I don’t think that he was living for anyone else.

Suicide can be broken down into two easy categories. The first would be the well thought-out and planned variety of someone who was deeply unhappy or terminally ill and in pain, etc. This person plans it out or at least thinks about it for a long time.

The second and much more common type is impulsive and sudden. It may be someone who has suffered from depression off and on for a long time but the act of suicide is the result of one really bad day or terrible night. Girlfriend or wife leaves you, child custody fight lost, etc. pushes someone over the edge. It only takes a minute or less if you have a gun to carry it out. All it takes is a moment when your brain, “goes there.”

People who shoot themselves at the end of police chases or stand-offs. Jump off tall buildings when they “seemed fine at dinner the night before,” just an impulse not denied. Chris Cornell did it one bad night. He had everything to live for.

Even though AB and CC did not use guns, the majority of suicides in the USA are by gunshot and the reason guns are considered a public health issue is because someone can kill them self so quickly and impulsively w a gun. It’s usually an impulsive, irrational, feelings based act.
