What happens to her visa? Access to money? Support from loved ones? I actually feel quite angry on her behalf. I know the poor guy must have felt desperate but when you have dependents you have responsibilities.

Life could get really bad but could/would any of you put your family through this?

What a tragedy for everyone involved.
I'm with you on this one. To do that, knowing you leave a wife and two very small children behind in a foreign country with no income...

I think its terribly selfish, but I suppose if you have got to the stage that you want to end it all, you aren't really thinking about anyone else.

Yup, and I guess it's hard to step back (no pun intended) and see the bigger picture.

Or just seeing it happen must be horrible, keep it private I say.

Go for the ankles!! Blood flows down

Suicide is selfish generally but if your having mental stability problems then its a different thing all together, in my opinion. This guy wasn't running on the right rating fuse for sure and so really can't be held responsible. Those that take the cowards way out, yeah, but when your channel isn't tuned in properly you have to expect these things. The guy needed help I expect.
