Here is a news article talking about his death. It's in German so you might need to use Google Translate to translate the article (either via web or just copying the text in the article and pasting it to the translator). Finally, ugh, the obligatory hotline, suicide prevention number at the end of the article (in German of course).

He was the proof this is an endless battle.

Maybe just never speak out against suicide. It's a private choice for each individual. Just shut it and accept that life can become so awful that suicide is the rational choice. Yes suicide can be very rational.
