Anyone ever had someone send you a suicide note?

Sorry for your loss man. RIP to your friend.

Damn man sorry to hear.

Folks who commit suicide have entertained the idea for many years, likely in their early teen years. It may come as a surprise to others but the one ending their life has had years to get comfortable with the action. If possible, try to take solace in knowing it was not an impulsive act.

That is a tough deal right there. Hope I am not faced with the same down the road.
Wish you well.

I definitely think it was something that had been going through his mind for a long, long time. He had been completely exiled from his family for not wanting to take on traditional Indian roles (the nationality, not native american). He didn't want to go to India and marry and Indian woman, wanted to hang out with his White friends, didnt want to work in the family hotel business. They eventually cut all ties with him, and it hit him hard. I did the best I could for him while we lived together.

So you call the police and confirm he's dead? We need a little more story on that front.

I received the text message at 645 PM. Called cops at 647. They made a courtesy check and called me back around 700PM to ask if I knew where a spare key might be since I told them I used to be room mates. I explain to them that I did not live with him at that residence, as I had moved back in October, but that this was not a joke and that whatever I needed to do to get them to make entry, I would do. I then heard the dispatcher say "10-4 Officers make entry". She then told me I would be hearing back from them. Around 740 I receive a call from a number with that area code, only rings once. I call back, no ansewr, then call dispatcher. She lets me know the officer called by mistake. I ask when I will be hearing from them, and ask about his condition, to which she replied she can not disseminate information, and that an officer will be calling me. About 15 minutes later officer calls me and says she "has bad news" to which I reply "Was he dead on arrival?" and she said yes. She then interviewed me and now I'm waiting on the investigation to be finished in order to get full police report to see if there was a more extensive note or anything.

One thing he did say in his text to me was to take care of his dog, which I am going to do. He loved that dog more than anything. Great kid, too. Extremely intelligent, not someone you would ever think would do something like this. Really goes to show you that mental illnesses can affect anyone. Its one of those things that I always assumed happened to other people, but "never my friends, they wouldnt do that". Such a stupid assumption.

How did he do it?

It really sucks he felt the need to do that, but do not take any ownership even though he decided to involve you. Honestly, it's not fair he even got you into this, especially like that. It does not reflect anything on you, nor does it make you in any way part of his decision making process.

I know this. I really do, but it's still something I'm going to struggle with. You know, what if I could have done more, what if I had given him the money, etc. I know for a fact deep down, that most likely would have only prolonged it, but still, it will weigh on me. I will come to terms with it eventually, itll just take time.

Therapy helps, I promise.

I found a friend of mine, hanging from his ceiling fan in his dorm room. It is a sight and day that I will never forget.

I am really sorry for your friend and you. Depression is a real mother fricker.

Best advice I can give you is understand there is nothing you or really anyone could have done to change the outcome. You are going to feel pain and guilt, it's perfectly normal reaction. Seek friends, counseling if you need it. If you dont wanna "bother" or bring your friends down, hit me up. I will listen.

Good luck!
