He was 34 years old. He has been going through back issues for the past 4 years, collecting disability and on TONS of different medications(which I think drove him mentally to shut down). He lives with another of my close friends, who found him in the basement hanging there.
My friend did what he could to see if he was still breathing but it was too late. What a tramautic experience it was for my buddy who found him. I knew he was depressed and he knew that we all cared yet he went through with it. Make sure to reach out to anyone you know that could be going through a similar situation. I am just struggling here at work and needed to vent about this - thanks.
