Yup.
Sometimes, suicide is a final act of a severely depressed individual. This trait of being prone to severe and reoccurring depression often runs in families. Think of the 20th Century writer Ernest Hemmingway.
There were at least five suicides in his family over four generations; Including the writer’s own at age 61, Hemmingway’s father Clarence, Ursula, one of his sisters, Leicester, a brother and Ernest’s youngest son Gregory who died in 2001 as a Transexual named Gloria. It didn’t help that most the family was also prone to alcoholism.
