"Suicide is a very sad act, it doesn't solve problems just hurts more people"
This is a thought process that I never understood- no offense.
It did, in fact solve his problems for him. Maybe not for everyone else, but for him, his problems are no longer...
If he felt that alone, maybe he needed his problems to be solved. Maybe he felt like no one cared about him. He solved his problems for himself, relying (presumabely) on the only person he could rely on. He did, in fact, suceed in solving his problems for himself.
Think about it for a minute- His sufering has, in fact, ended.
Now you can berate me.

I may have phrased it wrong but statistically speaking every suicide effects 5 (I have to look that up it may be low possibly 9) other people. Last semester I took a course on suicide it really opened my eyes and taught me alot.
It is the ultimate act of selfishness.
Agreed. Suicide is never a solution to emotional problems. It may solve that man's problems for himself, but it puts all of those around him, particularly his family, in a worse situation than he was himself.
But I also agree that it is a viable solution to exceptionally severe physical problems. I would much prefer a quick, painless death to a long, agonizing illness with no hope of recovery. IMO, dignity and comfort are far more important than time in that sort of situation.
Still, it's a terribly sad event. I'll say a few words for that man's family. I certainly hope the fellows who found him are alright as well.
just points out how much suicide is the ultimate "its all about me" thing. The folks that do that could at least go off into the woods or something, so everyone around them does not have to be included.
It's amazing how many people chose to commit suicide by standing in front of a train. Nothing puts a damper on your day like crawling around under locomotives and freight cars collecting body parts.
I could never do that to my wife and kids.
