He killed himself.

@1 Is the headline inaccurate or do you just need it to reflect your moralistic worldview as well?

@Segal thank you very much for not leading with the suicide detail

@2 There is a difference. I have the same issue with "so and so passed away" or "we lost so and so today." Our society has a real problem facing and dealing with death and an even bigger problem acknowledge the suicide epidemic. Recognizing the problem and ending the stigma are the first steps in actually stemming the tide of suicides and convincing people that killing themselves is not a solution to any problem.

@3 This article isn't about suicide, it's about the legacy and contributions of a human who has died. Go and write articles about the suicide epidemic and mention this person, but this article is not about suicide and I don't know why you need it to be.
