There's no evidence of this guy was going to testify.

He had a plea deal. Plea deal doesn't necessarily mean you are testifying about other people.

It also doesn't drive you to suicide.

Sez you. That's a very simplistic view of something that is idiosyncratic and multicausal.

At the very least, I can see going to jail as a sex offender as an adverse event.

aimeejamey ago

Yeah but it seems minor compared to ending your own life. Maybe he was already super depressed.

Right, is there any one thing that causes suicide? Probably many things do, and it's particular to the person

It's often the Clintons that cause "suicides," David.

Putting aside the likelihood of a faked death, 18 months of being a Chomo fish in the correctional system, getting raped and beaten throughout Vs. moments of pain then oblivion?

I might kill myself, and that's not even taking into account a) the shame involved, confessing and letting one's family and friends know something so awful, or b) from what I've read about the psychology (so yeah, grain of salt) of these 'people', molestation and rape are about POWER. All the things that would torture a decent person like you or I would be amplified again by that mindset.
