Sad. Prayers for the family,,,,,,
How does someone spend a life working hard to do what they love, succeed in doing what they love, become super successful doing what they love, and not live in pure gratitude for the journey?
Suicide is stupid, selfish, and wasteful (if indeed that is what happened).

You’re thinking like a rational human being. The thing is, people inflicted with depression to the point of having suicidal thoughts are not thinking rationally.
I read this a lot when someone commits suicide. I would like to put in a personal comment.
I struggled with depression for most of my life. I contemplated suicide a lot. There is emotional pain; but, there is also a sort of physical pain that goes with it. I could see, that it correlated with my monthly cycle; but, it was still hard to deal with and stole a lot of time from me, while I was trying to cope. I always have a lot of sympathy for someone who takes their own life; because, I have seen the edge and looked into that pit. I never did take that final step. But, I contemplated it on a regular basis. I would pull through; but, it took a lot of energy to keep going and it seemed that my entire life was spent trying to cope with this condition.
I tried anti-depressants once; but, they did not help me at all and, in fact, left me feeling flat and emotionless, and I lost my sexual drive completely, and it never really returned. All I could do, was try to hang on, and that is not a fun way to go through one's life.
About five years ago I was diagnosed with uterine cancer and had to have a hysterectomy. I had noticed that my depression had lessened after I had stopped having a menstrual cycle; but, after the surgery my depression was gone completely. It seems that it was entirely hormonal. I am feeling much better now; but, that depression took a lot of my life and energy to cope with. Whenever I hear of someone committing suicide, I am filled with sadness and I think, there but for the grace of God, go I.
Compassion is necessary. You may not understand; but, this person went through a lot of inner turmoil in their life. My experience would say that he just had a day where he couldn't fight anymore. Very sad.
