Celebrity Suicides And Deaths - Very Sad Stories-Part II Of III

After the suicide of band Boston leader Brad Delp and comedian Richard Jeni, I started to research other suicides by celebrities or famous people. I am shocked by the names on this list. I had hoped that the clues to these highly public suicides would provide clues to help prevent other suicides. Virtually all of the suicides were due to depression, loss, grief and intense pressure to be the best at their profession. Ultimately, just like every other successful death by suicide, they just didn't want to live any more.

If you have suicidal ideations, you should immediately call 911, a family member and the Suicide Help Line; 1-800-SUICIDE( 800-784-2433).
