Hell if I didn't care about some of my family there's no telling if I would've thought about it. Troubled minds never get better when they fester alone. I hope it didn't have anything to do with his career, but I also hope that it wasn't relationship related or anything.

Stay classy folks.

How would you all have reacted to these kinds of jokes right after the death of Sean Taylor?

Obviously, he was a troubled soul. May he now rest in peace.

And may his family members find their own peace...

Yeah it's kinda appalling to hear jokes about a guy who took his own life, especially on the day he was found dead. I'd hope we'd have more respect than that around here. What if it was your family member who just committed suicide, and one of us came on here and made a joke about it.

Have some respect for the dead. Hopefully Kenny McKinley is in a better place now. R.I.P.

I was not joking. Watching him play for SC was exciting. I just find suicide appaling, is all. I am sure he left family and friends behind that will surely miss him and always wonder what they could have done to help avoid this.

T- I would think that a man his age, with his opportunity, and talent level that this was some kind of personal relationship breakdown. There is a chance of a mental disorder but you would think someone wheather it be a college coach or medical staff or the NFL would have found something to that affect.

I respect the dead and hope for his families sake that they are ok, but I have always had deep issues with suicide.

Sometimes below the footsteps of life beats being in it for some. I view it mostly as untimely and greatly unfortunate.

I have been around this action and seen it destroy families and become contagious to a group of friends. 3 of them did it.

I ended up dating a girl for 7 years whose fiance had hung himself. When I broke up with her, she tried to kill herself in our aprtment when I was asleep. Horrible memories. I know I need to work on being sensitive to the situation, but having been close to it and close to finding someone I loved very much dead, I still don't have sympathy for the ones doing it. I do for the families and friends left behind, but not for the individual....

I am sorry if I offended anyone.

When I was reading some of the comments I was kind of shocked. I could not agree any more with you or mooby.

Folks have an ounce of pride and respect. I know thats a lot to ask from some.

Anyway, RIP. Good luck to the family.

.

That's just it people this troubled hide it.This young man had issues that he thought nobody could help him with.Think about it ...he was so troubled he thought this was the only way to deal with it.Suicide is thought about more then people will admit as a Professor of mine once said ..."everyone" will think about commiting suicide at least one time durnig their life,maybe when they were young or in Mid life or in Old age ,maybe it's only for a split second but the thought accrues to all of us at one time or another.
