What a tragedy. It is often virtually impossible to stop a person from taking their own lives. Perhaps more could have been done to avert the tragedy. Perhaps changing his medications and ensuring he was taking them daily, or as required. Such a brilliant young man. It is well . May God console his mother and the rest of his family.
