I can imagine that this man committed suicide... as I always say, you have to be very brave to do it... but wouldn't he have children? a wife? a mother, a father, brothers? who could help him, talking to him knowing that he was deeply depressed... perhaps he could have thought about it better... he lacked support, probably a hug would make him react and change his mind or think about it better...
whatever the case
rest in peace
