I'll be one of the first to agree with the concept that suicide is the weak thing to do, and it is a choice. But this isn't the place for it now dude, the guy touched countless people, across generations and national boundaries, and his family and his fans, not to mention humanity as a whole has lost something great, regardless of the methods of his demise.
While it is a choice, it doesn't always mean your mind is in the right state to make proper choices. He wasn't suffering from a depressed mood due to somethings in his life, there are many disorders that affect the brain that cannot be helped much. He suffered from it for over 20 years.
May he rest in peace. Brought joy to millions of people and was a huge part of my life growing up. It feels like a part of my childhood died today.
And to Jetackuu below: I'm not arguing. I'm stating facts. If anyone tries to smear someone by calling them weak, etc. then they need to be educated instead of remaining ignorant.
