But I don't think we can assume that the reason nobody managed to help him is through lack of trying.

My guess is that many people did try, in many different ways, to help him. And it's not necessarily their fault that they weren't able to turn him around.

I remember watching my older brother pick up a drunk lying in the middle of the street and move him to the sidewalk. As we were walking away, I turned around to look, and the drunk was crawling back out to the middle of the street.

True. true.

I have no need to harshly judge anyone in this situation.

I primarily want folks to learn from it and do better today and tomorrow in the relationships they have.

Agree. The fault of his actions lies squarely with himself. I just added my two cents to some of his thinking that may have started him down this horrible path of destruction.
