Yeah, once you get killed in an attack life just doesn't seem worth living.

You beat me to it. I was still scratching my head over this one trying to figure out how he could commit suicide after he'd been killed.

A US State Department employee has been killed. We should show some respect. As a US diplomat myself, I am grieved.
