I read that today, too. He had plans and appointments set up. The symbolism of the date hasn't been delved into yet.
Successful career, big $$$$$, nine kids, apparently happy marriage, great future ahead... your mind goes to substance abuse yet unless a note was left/found, we'll never know the truth.
I had a friend who tried killing himself three times. Each seemed to be half-hearted. Drug overdose but only ten Ativan. Car crashed into a wall but his air bag deployed. Swum out deep in the ocean, in an area full of boats and swimmers going to the small man-made island. Finally, he bought a gun. Shot himself in the foot, right side chest, then in the head. He survived but with brain damage. Can't speak or communicate and he's in the state hospital for behavioral problems. His parents pay $1.5 million a year to house and treat him.
I last saw him about twenty-seven years ago. He lies there, unmoving, eyes not focused, and doesn't seem to recognize anyone. I asked his sister why they kept him alive when he's in living hell. "My parents hope for a miracle. Daddy sold all his investments including all the beach estates for $75 million. With interest he said there is coverage for life."
I inquired about him and he's still alive, still in the hospital, his parents are under home care, sister moved to Paris and he's in custodial care.
Oh, the reason he tried suicide? He was gay and afraid to disappoint his parents. Suicide was the one way out. His parents knew he was gay and obviously it didn't deter them from spending big bucks to help him.
I can't imagine the internal pain he went through to decide to die rather than disappoint his parents
