This was such a shock, I was following him on Twitter and saw the events unfolding with horror. Not knowing him personally I didn’t feel it was my place to respond, but I bitterly regret that now, perhaps I could have found the words to prevent a tragedy, if not – well at least I would have tried. I just feel devastated that one of my heroes has died and I watched it happen.
I don’t think the mindset of someone in that state will necessarily be receptive to help or new ideas. It’s a strange situation; there seemed to be no suggestion that he was depressive or inclined towards self-harm, from what I understand.
