One can only speculate whether he intended to take his own life and noone will ever know what was going through his head. If the verdict is suicide then it will give an opportunity to think, reflect, talk and learn about what is for many a taboo subject and some good may come from that process. My heart goes out to all those affected.

Be wary of tarring all people with the same brush,everyone will cope with a situation differently. And I do know what Im talking about, My Dad committed suicide when I was 16. I was the one who found him, and who had to deal with the "aftermath" as I was on my own from then on. But I coped, I had no other choice. And I have never felt any feelings other than love and respect for him, It was bloody difficult for me yes, but he had his reasons, which I fully understand (moreso now im older)

lisa ..I don't know what to say but feel I can't not respond to your post. absolute kudo's (?) to you for your courage for getting through that and being able to speak about it, and your dad, now
