HOWEVER, he'd "expressed wishes" prior to his death regarding burial, etc, which makes me strongly think that it is suicide--what physically healthy 25 yr-old expresses these wishes?

Dear Sar,
I'm sorry to hear this, and that it brought up stuff for you. I wish I understood what is classy about suicide, even in the way this guy did it... Since you describe yourself as suicidal, don't you think this glorifies it, by calling his method classy? Is is possible to dissuade yourself that >any< way of killing yourself is ok?
If I want you to stay around, because you seem like such a nice person who is trying to get it together, is that just me being selfish?A hug,
Wendy
