It often seems weird to me that any time a seemingly happy and successful celebrity commits suicide the underlying reasons and especially the mental state at the time are largely brushed away. Everyone is quick to praise them for their success, and be sympathetic to their "struggles" yet no one is willing to dig deep into anything.
"Successful" people suicides are incredibly interesting because it forces us to ask the question "were they ever happy?" yet it is a question usually ignored in most post suicide bio films that seem to come out immediately after. There is this idea that suicide has to be treated with quiet respect, and whispers at funerals...we keep ignoring the actual issues and brush suicide off as a "mistake in the moment". Bullshit, anyone who commits suicide has been contemplating it most of their lives.
