You know, it is apparent the people with nothing significant to contribute are the ones who finds the most fault with the comments of lbo; and others; these wet-fart criticize but cannot address the issue at hand.
Suicide and suicidal behavior are influenced by negative situations in which people exists, conditions such as employment. These conditions, sometimes called social determinants of health, can include political oppression and victimization as found in in Dominica, where economic hardship; such as high unemployment, poverty, limited affordable housing, lack of educational opportunities, and barriers to physical and mental healthcare; access, among others.
Other factors that can increase suicide risk include relationship problems or feeling a lack of connection to others; easy access to lethal means among people at risk, experiences of violence such as child abuse and neglect, adverse childhood experiences, bullying, and serious health conditions, such as alcoholism!
Condolences to the family and his soul rest easy!
Question is though; What this young man to take such drastic action? Dca has truly become a whole planet with more questions than answers. But, time will tell.
lbo France you haven’t got a job cut off the nonsense and go find a church to pray
He is retired and idle. You add this to deep personal challenges, hatred, and jealousy, you have a mix worthy of the Ibo type, Ma Boyd type, and Mass in the Cemetery type.
@Ibo France, it’s my understanding that this guy has had a history of bad behaviour and might have even had a police record.
The facts might be brought to the fore.
Yes, what does a police record have to do with someone taking their life?
Everyone is born with a clean slate; meaning a pure mind; along the way we adapt to situation, good or evil.
Sickness of every kind are likely to set in. This person or others like him may have developed some form of chemical imbalance, causing mental illness; (no point of me addressing that, to people who does not have any knowledge in medicine); nevertheless, I had a relative in Wesley, very brilliant mind; great athletic skills, he started life as a School Teacher, later he became a Minister of Religion, in the Methodist Church.
He serve in the United States, and other places in the Caribbean; he return to Dominica, served as superintendent of the the Methodist Church in Dominica.
His brother now a retired farmer took home weed pesticides one day: the family I described simple open one of the containers of poison and drank it; the man died within minuets!
And that’s what mental illness can do to people.
Sincerest condolences to all those who are left to mourn the passing of this young man. It’s tough emotionally when an ageable person dies, but even more heartbreaking with the premature death of a young man in the prime of his life.
To commit suicide is an act of desperation and hopelessness. What could have driven this young man to this extreme? Is it the insufferable pressures of life in Dominica? I’m just surmising.
The unemployment rate among the young people is extraordinarily high, hovering above fifty percent (50%). One usually becomes forlorn and considers himself/herself useless when faced with lengthy periods without a job. Depression sets in which usually leads to disastrous circumstances like self destruction. Really sad!
