Can we stop the speculations until we actually know what happened? :-(
- benesch 14y agoIt's a reasonable assumption. We may never know the true cause. There's no harm in discussing possible factors.
- veemjeem 14y agoDo you really think an autopsy will reveal why he decided on suicide?
- benesch 14y agoI think judofyr means that parents/friends/anyone close to Aaron will likely reveal any knowledge they have about his situation in the coming days.
- deelowe 14y agoAs someone posted above, here's a post by his mom: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5047398 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5047398 OPs assumptions seem warranted.
- pretoriusB 14y ago>Can we stop the speculations until we actually know what happened? :-( No, because: 1) we'll never know what "really happened" (even if he had left a note stating a reason one can never know if something not mentioned also weighted on him psychologically) 2) speculation is, counter to what some may think, productive. For example, it gets you questioning stuff like the legal system in the comment above.
- paulhauggis 14y agookay. I am speculating that it's because of all of the anti-gun laws in America that led up to his suicide. Can we start questioning them now?
- Cushman 14y agoGo ahead.
- pretoriusB 14y agoYes. Why not?
