Neighbors say the man's name was Brent and he had three young children.
He was found dead by a friend, with the windows closed and gas hissing from the kitchen. The home appears to be 222 Florita.
The sense of hopelessness, despair, alienation and loneliness one has to endure in order to make this an option is absolutely unfathomable. I have no idea who this person is, but his pain is now gone. For those left behind, the pain is only beginning. The hardest part is in accepting that there is no blame here.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
