Thanks, good article and I did not know about that. I guess it would be hard for a doctor to be in that position. Still it seems he was bound to die in a few years which would have been terrible. Great courage on his side to take the matter on his hands IMO.
I agree with you. It was straight situation for him, he had courage to do It. He might have even checked this site, who knows? Imagine this...

Most people on this forum are not going through same black and white situation -I mean I try to think what can we learn from this. Like he had to go both through prolonged pain and prospect of having this pain continue or get worse. This might have made easy for him to project current pain into the future and feel directly what he will feel like, but knowing It won't stop making him hopeless. So he had to be both hopeless and in pain at the same time.

I have in my life moments of pain and despair, but also happy moments, so I cannot make decision to ctb, even if I do not like life in general.

Was really shocked at the time. He looked like such an happy and positive person. Anybody knows his reasons?
Yes - he had Lewy Body Dementia according to his autopsy - so his cognition would have been deteriorating and would continue to get worse. I imagine he couldn't cope with the prospect of that.

same for me, albeit the actual happy moments are not that many at this point. besides enjoying the small little things of life that something happen also to me.

I do find it fascinating to think about whether some celebrities get depressed because they get everything they wanted in life and find out that it's not like they imagined. Or maybe even more tragically it is exactly as they imagined it, but they still don't feel happy or fulfilled.

I feel like that might be the case with me. Even if I got everything I wanted in life, I still wouldn't feel happy or fulfilled.

I was at school when the news broke out about his suicide and I was pretty shocked, so someone asked me if I liked them and I said not really. It's sad that he passed away but I never found many of his material funny

Tbh what concern Me is not how Many people ctb. But how many survive and suffer it's tragic consequence. But this may not hold true for some. Because maybe they had to live.
