- 1letterunixname 4y agoThere was a documentary Roadrunner (2021). I haven't seen it. I'm curious if anyone besides him knew why he did it. Existential loneliness, lack of love, distance from family and others, and purposelessness? Mostly middle-age and older American men, skewing towards white and lower in income, are dying early by their own initiative. It might explain a fraction of drug overdose and mass murder events.
- klodolph 4y agoThere has been a lot of discussion about Bourdain’s suicide. Speculation. The stress of fame and constant travel. Drinking constantly and avoiding problems in your own life. These are possible contributing factors. I don’t think you can really know why someone did it, most of the time. I don’t think we can even assume that he knows why he did it. We do things without understanding why.
