yes a very selfish act indeed, it is a shame for the loss of life but it WAS this chaps choice!!!! nothing anyone could do about it if he wanted to do it,

a fellow musician and good friend of mine hung himself 2 years ago, he did it without telling anyone or making phone calls, he just went and did it, those of us who were there still blame ourselfs....what if......what if.....

all i can say is it does get better......thoughts with your g/f mate...
