    i feel so sorry for him, but I can’t help but to think what a reckless decision he made with respect to other people’s lives. he could have killed someone on the street.

    @so sad– A natural instinct, and certainly a possible danger, but to describe what happened as a “reckless decision” is likely incorrect; most people (perhaps not all but certainly an extremely high percentage) who commit suicide are not capable in that moment of making true decisions.
