    I know that something willful and un-natural is taking place in this place they call Dominica. However, nothing is being done to look into this matter as every lip is zipped and fear is as a blanket over the masses. This is nothing less than demonic forces at work here. I’m waiting for thumbs down from all you enablers and hypocrites. What goes around comes around.

      An idiot can run but they cannot hide, there is a pattern in this writing which gives me an idea who wrote that hogwash!

        I did by dyeing the colours on their skin. Don’t you see so many women walking around with their hair and skin dyed as well. If only I could dye your mouth and Ibo’s mouth, life would have been a whole lot better.

      You people are stupid and sick!
      Couldn’t this guy be suffering in silent due to mental illness, anything deeper than that is all called mental disorder, caused by chemical imbalance in the brain ( what you all term crazy) in Dominica is actually mental illness!

      Note: Mental illness
      A disorder that can cause psychological and behavioral disturbances with varying severities.
      Symptoms : Symptoms include confusion, depression, social withdrawal, extreme feelings of pleasure, anger, excitement, fear or grief.

      Causes : Causes include long term substance abuse, prenatal damage to brain, injury to brain, exposure to toxins, infection, etc!
      Treatment : Treatments include combinations of medication, psychotherapy, peer support and sometimes, hospitalization in severe cases.

      Maybe he did not seek treatment; or perhaps did not even recognized he was mentally ill!

        So you just proved my point. THERE HAS TO BE A DEEPER STORY BEHIND THAT. MAN DOESNT JUST KILL THEIR SELF JUST LIKE THAT. SO..whether he wa suffering silently, had mental illness, was in serious debt, had health issues, or whatever REASON. I know, man doesnt just kill their self, just like that. So you can call people all sick you want. that not my problem. My previous comment still stands and is even given more credence by your many maybe’s and perhaps’.

    So sad! When a vibrant life of a human being is lost unnaturally it’s shockingly painful.

    Deepest sympathy to his family, friends and co-workers at this time of their bereavement. May his acts of love and kind deeds live on in our hearts.
