[quote][i]Originally posted by RichR[/i] The thing I find selfish about what he did is not the fact that he committed suicide, I don't fully understand the psyche of someone willing to do so but I've had family do the same and can accept that it comes from a deep and dark place. The selfish factor isn't the act but the method, hanging himself as he reportedly did or shooting yourself or slashing your wrists in a bath are violent methods and ones which have to have a profound effect on those that find you and those are likely to be friends, family and loved ones. Whilst taking copious amounts of pills and alcohol or gassing yourself in a car, etc. have the same effect without the gruesomeness of the scene and in a roundabout way, shows a little more respect for those left behind and those who ultimately find the body. I went to the funeral of the brother of a close friend. I'd not met the brother but as his family were fractious, I offered support to my friend. As an Catholic funeral and particularly as an Irish wake, I was expected to go to see the body in the open casket. His brother had killed himself by jumping infront of a train with a container of petrol - that's not a pretty scene for anyone to find, family, friends or otherwise. The open casket was actually draped so that all you could see was his face and even then, the back of his head was clearly held on with a bandage. The scene in the coffin was horrific and I would hazard a guess that the scene when he was identified or when someone had to scrape him off the rails was a thousand times worse. The lack of care and compassion for those left is hugely selfish in my opinion. Robin Williams had well documented issues with drink and drugs and would have been well aware of how to obtain and how much to administer so why not kill himself in a less graphic manner? [/quote]
