Very, very sad. RIP. I have seen videos of his work. He was a real craftsman.
Depression is a real and deadly burden that can strike anyone, anytime.
Very true.
Too bad depression is such a dark illness, more than one way.
Dark for the victim, dark in that it's not spoken about enough, lingers in the shadows until it's too late.
And, then there's the lingering guilt and remorse of family and friends. "Why didn't we see this coming, what could be have done, etc. etc..." Blaming themselves for something they probably couldn't have prevented. Once someone makes up his or her mind, it's hard to intervene...
Closure is such cases is more often than not, really difficult...
