So they can. So what? I think the relevant question is why. Why, if you care about your family enough that you would want to protect them from worry, would you subject them to the loss of a loved one? Was the alternative too hard? Why would it be more difficult to talk with his family seeking help or advice to help him get through his difficulty than ending his own life? That just doesn't make sense to me unless the person or persons in question have previously made themselves less than approachable in matters relating to help/advice.

Because to them, death is an easy way out. It a way to just end it all... And sometimes, even if the family would be happy to help, they may not know that. He was just a kid...

If you've got another reason why that might be without implying than that a person on the brink of ending their own life is too stupid to be expected to seek rational alternatives resolving their problem, or that I'm a horrible ignorant monster for trying to explore a subject that, with better understanding could save more lives, then by all means, I'd like to hear what you have to say.

If you really wanna know, there are a bunch of videos out there that explain it. I know because I've had to watch them for work. We also have to watch these videos showing signs and how help. The problem is, it's different from person to person. And it can be hard to tell during these times. A lot of people are stuck inside and bored. And boredom and sadness can look pretty similar at times. Maybe when they saw him sad and asked what was wrong, he just said he was bored, then went to do something. I can't tell you since I wasn't there, though. I just know that people can hide their emotions. And sometimes, this is what happens. It's been happening on base often lately...
