Apparently to avoid the stress of being interrogated and may be jailed for being part in the world's greatest financial scandal engineered by his dad.

Kumbe money cannot make anyone happy on Earth.

reading "the ultimate secrets of total self confidence" by Dr. Robert Anthony. According to him suicide is one of the major addictions of a person with low self esteem. The others are blaming &complaining, fault finding, need for attention & approval, lack of close friends, aggressive need to win, overindulgence, depression, divorce, greed & selfishness, indecision & procrastination, putting up a false front and self pity. He calls suicide the severest form of self-criticism.

@sparkly, i tend to agree with the Dr..personally, I perceive suicide as a coward's way out (except for suicide bombers!).
Reminds me, back in school a terribly brilliant guy some classes ahead of our lot (he even won a scholarship from Oxford Uni) committed suicide, and we were so so pissed off by his action - whatever its cause we didn't believe it was worth his life. His action is still so heavily criticized today as it was then.
