Well there's some nice 10 cent psychology, but I'd have to guess that the stress of dealing with government persecution for the last few years probably had a strong effect on his mental state. However, I sure as hell don't know that and you don't either. I see most of what you said as judgemental pop psych bullshit, but maybe I'm misinterpreting your intention so I don't want to turn this into a flame. It doesn't take a lifetime of anguish to commit suicide, you just need to back yourself into that mental corner where you become convinced your problems are overwhelming. I think you should be more compassionate.
