I wasn't arguing with you, I agree with what you said.

I'm just saying it probably didn't even cross his mind and if it did, he was in too dark of a place in his mind to think he could do it.

Hmm. If he had Parkinson's, "hung self with belt" is far less likely to me than "beat self to death with buckle trying to hang self with belt".


damn, cut myself on that edge, bro

I'm sure she's been hounded by the media. Talking about it is also a form of therapy, I'd imagine.

Still a lot of depression and self hate to do yourself in that way.

If not depressed and bi polar etc. then you are talking about a bucket list type of existence for a while. And I can think of a lot of easier ways to go than hanging. Especially with Hollywood connections and $$$.

Her quote.

Why would one betray an intimate trust in such a manner?

I'm sure he would be pretty pissed if he can see this from wherever we go after we die.

He obviously did not want people to know...to the point that it may have had something to do with his suicide

Poor form


You're such a judgmental prick. Maybe she did it because of all of the assumptions about him relapsing with alcohol or drug addictions. It's not your business so why do you care?

I'm sad to hear that.

I wonder if this made his depression/illness worse and pushed him over the edge?

100% right. It is none of our business, but she opened it up to discussion by speaking with CNN.

I don't think you understand. How she chooses to discuss any of this isn't your concern. The world doesn't care what you think. You're a judgmental prick and your opinion is of no value.

My blood pressure is fine.

Your mental health, not so much.

It certainly has put a spotlight on mental illness though.

Hahaha

Big talk

You might be fine with the world knowing your deepest and most private parts of your life after you die, but you should consider that not everyone thinks the same way.

But you don't have any clue what sort of private conversations they had about the matter. But it's like you to assume that you know how everyone else should handle such things. You're not in her shoes. Don't act like you have some sort of superior way of handling things because you don't. You're not in a place to be passing judgment.

He could have really helped and brought awareness (donations/charity work) to that cause.

Maybe so, but should he have to suffer to do so?

Has TD jumped on the autoerotic asphyxiation theory bandwagon?
