Sad.
May he rest in peace and his loved ones someday find healing from their grief.

Oddly, the CDC is the agency that records numbers of US suicides.
The number of suicides increased from 45,979 in 2020 to 47,646 in 2021.

The Military Suicide Prevention figure is alarming.
“A study released in 2022 found that as many as 44 veterans die on average per day from suicide when accounting overlooked causes of death that are aligned with suicidal and self harm behavior, which is 2.4 times greater than the official estimate.”
