He had a suicide attempt. It was always something he was struggling with`and then he became an addict and it went downhill

just so you know the note didn't have his name misspelled, they misspelled it on the report

I agree with the person who said Degen has obviously never dealt with somebody with depression before. Depression is not something you can just turn off. I personally know that if you are predisposed to a depressive personality and don't have access to the help you need, no amount of wanting to fix yourself is going to do the trick.

i still think his gf did it...she was a complete bitch... he had cuts on his arms that could have been defensive cuts and also the suicide note that he left had his name misspelled. ohh and she also tried to sue the family for a million dollars in 2004....fuck that bitch

He had been thinking it long before he did commit suicide. His friend even said, "If only I had a nickel for every person that has held elliott's hand and begged him not to kill himself."

Go fuck yourself you insensitive prick. Depression CAN be inhereted genetically, it is just then up to you how you deal with it. I inherited it from my mom, because she and I BOTH HAVE DEPRESSION, just like you can inherit personality traits. Stop being such an ignorant fucking douchebag and get off this comment box. I am not blaming my mom then just sitting in a puddle of self-pity, I am just trying to explain to a moron like you that depression can be inherited.

dude why didn't you just drink all kinds of alcohol to drown out the pain? thats the way americans do stuff, look at your countrymen ted kennedy, any irish-american or guinea. you americans can be exasperating sometimes, christ
