Pro Player Commits Suicide

[marlais]

I don't think online poker or Black Friday were the root causes...the root cause was depression. Easy access to guns didn't help. It sounds like this guy certainly had enough reasons to be depressed, but it could have been anything else just as easily, from getting in a fight with your girl, to having your dog hit by a car, to losing your kid to cancer. It's hard to dig yourself back out.

let me guess, you must be for gun control? if he hung his swelf would you say he shouldnt have had rope around him? it is very sad he gave up, but if he was gonna do it he was gonna do it...guns had nothing to do with it except thats what he used

This is probably not the right place for a political discourse.

I didn't say one word about gun control. Do not give guns to your suicidally depressed friends. I would also say that his friend should not help him obtain rope to hang himself with (or pills, or drugs). People using some common sense would save a lot of lives.
