This was a good read and quite heavy. I'm not sure what the takeaway is though.<p>What can we learn from such a tragedy that might help others? A trend in such stories seems to be a period of increasing isolation from everyone but in many cases none of the cut out people do anything about it. I find it hard to understand how the family of the wife can just accept losing contact like that, but I've not been in this situation so what do I know?<p>Either way, grim stuff. At least the deaths were quick and they didn't seem to really suffer that much.
I feel the saddest part was the response of others to his death. Instead of understanding the root causes or trying to help others in his situation people turn to more conspiracies and finger pointing. "The government was behind this. CIA assassination" etc. It completely dehumanizes the issue of mental illness and distracts from the real issues at hand.
