Suicide and Why?

Just shows even people with success or money aren't completely happy? No idea. May he rest in peace.

My younger brother used to listen to Linkin Park. That's shocking.

It is hard to understand when someone is seemingly in the high life. But yes his own demons got him. RIP Chester.

It is a shame that being famous in the internet era means that you have no more privacy if you are a celebrity. Having to deal with the stress of fame is deadly to a lot of people.

It shows money and success are not making everyone happy. May he rest in peace.

no one will ever know how he felt inside, and that is sad. the issues he had led him to think this was they was out. so sad, may he rest in peace.

Just like Robin Williams, he gave up on depression. We are lucky we didn't have their condition, always looking forward to live everyday.

I have asked the same thing...why? he left his fans his music and may his soul rests in peace

You will never know why. Noone will. Unless they were very close to him and knew exactly what he was going through. And even then, its still questionablr as to why. His success with his music does not fix what bad things had happened to him, and in his life. And not everyone whos living a bad life now, or has had a bad past, can handle life for long. Doesn't make them weak or a coward. It makes them human and have feelings. I've thought of it myself years ago when I lost my daughter. And never thought i would think about it before then, So i know how easily it can happen. Even when you think it wont.. it can.

I remember thefirst album and single , i liked it from the start.

I don't see it as cowardliness. I think it takes a lot to end your own life because you feel that you are worthless and no one needs/loves you. No matter how famous, loved, or how big of an impact he made. He was struggling inside and he couldn't open out about it and get help because since he is famous people would heavily judge him for it which wouldn't have made his situation any easier. More than likely he was heavily depressed and being in the music industry of all places there were probably other influences like with many musicians (Michal Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Elvis, Whitney Huston, etc.) to help cope. Look at Robin Williams. He was one of the funniest and probably one of the most loved people in the world but he was fighting a lot of things inside that he couldn't share because he is known as the funny, happy, go lucky guy. A lot of the people we look up to especially musicians and comedians have some series sh*t going on in their minds that none of us could even imagine having to live with. Even though depression is something a lot of people face each one thinks that no one else could understand how they feel. These people and much more are why I want to work with in the mental health field. Instead of judging them, or calling them cowards we should try and understand them more, be there for them, and take away this stigma of mental health that the social media has given it. Just like the old saying say"Money doesn't buy you happiness." He may have been rich and famous but that doesn't mean he was happy or successful. Success means something different to everyone.
