Didn't you read he wasn't normal? You should consider the ones that doesn't have the right mind... Come on, he was very sensitive and was very talented...

I think life is just too dramatic... He hanged himself in his father's bed is even more painful...

The boy can't understand life, maybe that's it...

He was perfectly normal... He didn't hang himself on his father's bed; he hung himself on his own bed.

I like my Wii system but to hang myself over not being able to play this? That's just DUMB.
Now some idiot government official is going to try to ban the Wii or something....

Why do people hang themselves, it is most likely one of the most painful ways of suicide.

It's also one of the easiest.

Is it just me or is "talented and sensitive" a euphemism for "emotionally unhinged"? I doubt the confiscation of the Wii was the cause of the suicide - he was probably already considering it and the argument had put him in such a bad mood that he decided - for better or worse - to go through with it.

But suicide is everyones right, why is this story so newsworthy?

pathetic...

Good riddance, maybe a bit harsh but cmon..:nuts:

I hope this is sarcasm.

This is a very sad story. And I dont think the kid meant
to take hes life really Only scare hes parents.

Suicide is horrible and selfish.
You may think its good but it hurts everyone around you.

Yea, I'm wondering how the dad felt... I think he might be VERY easy now on his kids cause things like this... They're just horrible.

Suicide isn't selfish at all; a man's life belongs to no one but himself. It is sad when a person dies in this fashion, but truly, how can anyone say that someone is selfish for taking their own life? Other human beings don't exist to comfort and befriend you, they have their own feelings and their own problems.

If anything is selfish, it is childbirth.

This is rediculous. Hanging yourself because of a fucking video game? I don't care who you are, there's more to life than playing games, like come on!

Now his sister will think it's all her fault and probably need some psychiatric help.

"There had been a minor argument. The circumstances in which he was found do not suggest to me this was a deliberate act to end his life.'"
Also any act of hanging is a deliberate act to end your life. You can't hang yourself and expect to be alright.

I don't agree with it, but this is really an interesting take on the subject.

 

[FireCat]

but think about hes parents how they feel after hes Suicide.
the kid cant say why he did it because he is dead..
now hole family must have some help and yes sure hes sister
need help now. So little it is selfish of him he don't think
what he did to hes family because of a farking game.

 

[Jackal]

It's also one of the easiest.

Sure it may be the easiest, but there are other ways of suicide that come pretty close.

A child's mind is completely different from anyone older.
In my opinion, if you want to look at it in the more 'positive' way, he was breave for facing the unknown of death.

 

[konerboy]

maybe it was murder!

sounds kinda lame to hang yourrself because of a WII, if he had such good imagination why didn't he imagine playing a game
