[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I didn’t know the family but know someone who does, and she said they were a sweet family. I don’t know anything about the family or their timeline. But for cultural context, Burning Man, integral psychology, getting married after pregnancy/baby… none of these are a big deal at all in the Bay Area and are barely even fringe they’re so common. So the people spinning off theories about murder/suicide are really reaching. [/quote]

I agree.  But as far as what people say, idk.  Because people do not meet new friends and discuss their personal feelings and state of mind.
I once spent an entire day with a guy friend.  His wife took their little boys to a carnival & he didn’t want to attend because she was going with another boy mom.  That evening we were hosting a large field party and the couple had a sitter lined up for after the carnival.  I last saw my friend at 4:30.  At 6:30 i drive back to help prepare for our bash.  Traffic was stopped for miles and miles.  I eventually was directed to turn around, so I headed back home.  This was a very rural setting so one way in/out to the field.  As I drove home my phone was exploding.  My friend had shot himself in the head at 5pm.  His wife and kids found him upon returning from the school carnival.  I never understood what was wrong.  I knew them for years, they were a good looking couple with a brand new house, twin boys, great careers and appeared to be the perfect all American family.  
When I got to their house that morning, the wife was still getting ready and her husband was sitting under a huge tree reading Bible verses to the twins.  He went trail riding with a huge group of us regular trail riders.  No one noticed a thing.  He talked, laughed, seemed eager for the party that evening, had ordered a new truck and seemed excited for its arrival, talked about building a barn and getting horses for his family, etc.

Omg this is terrible do people
Know what happened did he leave a note at all
Or anything?[/quote]

No.  Nothing.  
I only shared this because it really brings home the fact we can never know what’s going on in someone’s head.

I am sorry for your loss.

I had a similar situation with a guy friend in college. We hung out with some others, he seemed fine. Later that night he killed himself. He had seemed fine in the days leading up to that night, it was not a, "he was depressed then felt relieved when he had a plan" - he seemed normal, talked about travel plans, etc.

You just never know indeed. [/quote]
