To be fair, he insists on his site that he was not lonely or depressed. It seems his motivation for suicide was that he found the idea of growing old and incapacitated to be the scariest thing he'd ever imagined, and he wanted to end his life before that happened, while he was still able to do so. He mentions he'd planned this out since he was young, but didn't put a date on it until a year or so before he committed suicide.
