OT: Lead singer Chester Bennington for Linkin Park dead from suicide

Dude had some personal demons. I read an article about him years ago. He was abused as a kid and it really messed him up.

For most, not all cases, it is about choices that they make and most involve getting into drugs. My brother in law made the choice to start smoking weed and drinking when he was 14, which led to other things. He is now a ward of the state with altered chemical imbalance and manic depression caused by the drug use. Unless you are born retarded we all have the innate ability to make choices that can have long term affects.

I agree that suicide is very selfish, and this guy left 6 kids fatherless! I was just listening to Sirius and the rock DJ Jose was saying the same thing. Said Chester was a coward and and no one should praise him for leaving his family that way and it should leave a black mark on his career! Yes it's sad and he obviously had demons but again we all have choices to make. The mention of war veterans and stuff I get with the PTSD and such but therapy and such is vitally important, and important for friends and family to intervene earlier. And if true the child abuse occurs, that can also lead to the inability to make and intelligent decision to start into drugs. I'm sure Chester fought the addiction problems as well.

Back to the drugs. A males brain typically doesn't fully develop until 20-21 years and as in my BIL case the doctors say that the chemicals introduced early on altered his brain development completely.
