Hung himself. I've been so profoundly sad after hearing that. I've always been a bit leary about depression, thinking it was just someone being very sad and my thought was that you could snap yourself out of it. I've felt "depressed" and pretty much talked myself out of it.

But this has totally changed my thinking on that. For someone who has brought such happiness to everyone and he felt that despondent that he would take his own life. I can't seem to wrap my brain around that. Especially when he had the kind of material wealth I'm sure he did. I thought in the past, just hop on a plane and go on vacation when you're sad, go buy something extravagant, things like that. If depression is so bad that those kind of things don't even matter, the depth of the sadness must be more than someone who has never experienced it can ever understand.

May he rest in peace.
