I appreciate that. Part of why this particular case is so magnetic for me. It feels like people want to create a divisive conspiracy supported by no evidence. That way they can get some white people bad points. Rather than admit we have a massive mental health crisis happening. Everyone should be trying to help one another, not use a tragedy to divide eachother further.
I work in addiction recovery and listen to people share about suicidal ideation, and lost friends/family to suicide. A lot of people that contemplate life take into consideration the world they are leaving behind. Not wanting to burden others, further hurting or shaming family, or honestly leaving a mess - leads people to hanging.
How common are hanging suicides for all men? Do we just no hear about other people doing it cuz it’s not sus?
It’s the second most common form of suicide in the US. Unfortunately, lost an uncle and cousin to it.
Thanks. Sorry for the family you lost.

I wonder if a black person would think that hanging themselves would lead to some confusion.
