The other two at least did it out in the jungle, saves someone having to clean up after you and pay. Hotel kind of narrows it down, there's only one there that qualifies, my nephew helped build it so I imagine it'll fall down in a couple of years. RIP, depressed man.

In the month I've been on this site, I've read about 3 suicides. I'm not sure I buy it.
Why would this guy kill himself? He looks like a stud and probably exercises everyday.
He looks well fed, strong and he's only 39.

I'd be suspicious of this being called suicide.

Why are we talking suicide when it could have been a heart attack? He looked pretty happy in the pictures to me, not like someone who might take their live in a few hours.

Heng Heng Heng, you are one of my favorite posters but please someone looking happy in a photo does not say anything. Depression, if that's what it was that made this young man decided he couldnt hack it any more can sneak up and grab you from the best days. He was 39 who is to say he hadn't been plagued by it for years.

I don't like to discuss my private shit here but my own brother was 40, and after a good night out, from which there were many photos of him laughing and joking he went back home and something tipped him over and he methodically after writing letters to everyone) ended his life. After 20+ years of him struggling with depression he said he had given it enough time and things had got worse for him and he couldn't deal with it any more. From the outside he had it all though, good looking, nice girlfriend, money in the bank, good job, holidays but something for him was missing. That's depression for you,

RIP to the young man. Has brought up some painful memories.
