This is so sad - my thoughts and prayers to Mike's family

This sounds a lot like what happened with Baltimore Orioles star Mike Flanagan. Depression can be so debilitating. You feel as if there's only one way to escape the pain.

I've heard suicide best described as "a permanent solution to a temporary problem".

Not good. So many people who have died prematurely would give anything to get more time on Earth and then someone totally disrespects the opportunity to live like this...
