Poseur.
People who really wanna die, quietly do it alone so no one can stop them...and they do something irreversible and sudden, like jump from a hi rise, or step in front of a VIA train. People who cut their wrists the wrong way, take pills etc, are crying for help and/or attention, and hoping secretly that someone stops them or finds them in time to save them.
I'm going to agree and disagree on this one. I personally believe he wasn't planning on killing himself. The first report of fire came fairly long after it started and really how much of a fire could you have started in a small apartment that would take a long time to catch and spread. Not saying he's not disturbed, but I think it was more of a show. You wand to kill yourself, you're not going to post and keep tweeting while you're doing it. It's attention seeking ********.
However, last year I lost my cousin in Copenhagen to suicide. I met the guy a few times, and seemed a little weird but for his age ( 18 ) it seemed like a normal phase to be going through. I talked to him a few times before that and just seemed like a regular teenager with regular problems. Nothing major. No one saw it coming.
Stop reading if you don't want to read how he died.
His parents go away for a few days to Poland to visit my relatives, and they come home to him dead in the tub. He ended up getting a motor, and gassing himself to death in the tub. A ****ing 2-stroke motor that he got from some motorcycle nearby. He hooked up the tube, and gassed himself to death. The kicker is that he dug himself a grave under the house prior to that. He would do it when people were at work and then when they left for vacation he put a hole in the floor to let them know where to bury him. So he died peacefully with a motorcycle (he loved riding) motor as he wanted....on his own terms.
Now what drove him to this? We don't know. He left a note saying 'I have lived as much of this life as I feel I need to. I've seen and done everything there is, and I don't feel a need to keep on living.'
To this day I can't understand it, sure he looked a little messed up, smoking dope, lazy sob but I thought it was only a phase. I feel **** for not recognizing the signs, but I also didn't know him well enough to notice a change. He had all the support he needed (from what I see). The family wasn't well off, but they weren't poor. He did well in school. Something changed him when he was in the States for school. His facebook page kept updating and people adding friends with 'devil, 'hitler', 'satan' and other ********.
Anyway, he did this with a clear and determined mind. He knew what he wanted to do, selected a time to do it, and left this world. His wasn't an impulse decision. It was calculated, and he died the way he wanted...on his own terms.
