Just saw this on Twitter and thought it warranted passing along. Feel really, really sorry for her, especially since it happened right after both their birthdays. Always terrible whenever someone reaches the point of feeling like there's no other way out.

It's been a really rough couple of years for a great many people. I have all of the sympathy in the world for people who decide that there's no way out of their situation, or that the bad times are here to stay, but I obviously wish it could have played out differently.

This is very unfortunate news. I wish he didn't feel this was the only option. I hope his family is able to get through this difficult time.

Oof. All of my sincere condolences to her at this time.

Honestly, I'm surprised we haven't heard of more of this with what's been going on the past couple years. I think there have been some YouTubers that have committed suicide. It's really tough. I feel horrible for affected families of suicide.
