The OP who knows the family, states that it was due to "Mental Health" so very little equating needs to be done.Well, I didn't know the guy, but obviously the karma thread takes on a different meaning when you consider he was likely doing suicidal ideation at the time.
Can we please stop automatically equating suicide with 'poor mental health' ? Imo that's a lazy cop-out which is disrespectful to the deceased... there might be sound reasoning behind a suicide. The fact that we are not willing to go there ourselves doesn't entitle us to pathologise those who do.
