[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 214441, member: 3626"] I hope this doesn't sound too callous but I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. For some, suicide is a very private act. For others, the more people involved, the better. What is sickening is that people watched this for 12 hours and waited until it was too late to do anything about it before contacting anyone. I do understand not believing it at first but surely it was obvious long before he died that he needed help. I am not going to blame a website for this. There are too many places he could have done the same thing and done it in a very public manner. The internet just makes the "public" worldwide rather than those in close proximity. My heart goes out to his family. Suicide is tragic enough without knowing that people could have stopped it. [/QUOTE]
