- I'm saddened to hear this and my condolences go to everyone who knew him.
Thank you for reaching out to the community with such an important message. Suicide is increasingly common and many people will consider it at some point in their lives, but people are still often too ashamed to talk about it.
If you're in the UK and want to talk to someone but don't feel comfortable talking to family and friends, the Samaritans hotline is manned 24/7 - 116 123.
You can also dial 999 - it's not just for heart attacks, we're here to support your mental health too. - From all of us at Alliance Nu, our heads hang a little lower today, our deepest condolences.
- That's very sad indeed. My condolences, love and sympathy to his friends and family at this awful, awful time.
Yes, I was going to write something like the below for those in the UK experiencing difficult times -"FailingCrab;c-1561598" wrote:

I am both someone who has dealt with and deals with his own poor mental health as well as being a Samaritan listening volunteer. Sometimes it helps to talk to folks like us...who will never judge, who won't give their opinions...their great ideas...no - we just listen, and help you talk. For some it's invaluable. Because you are never, ever alone.
Peace to C3PO. Love and peace. Fly high, free from the horrible constraints and agonies of mortality. - Here from Brazil, my deepest condolences to friends and family
C3PO is now one with the Force.
Stay strong. - Very sad to hear. To echo others in this thread if you know or think someone is struggling, ACT!! (Ask, Care, Treat). Ask them if they are going to hurt themselves, care about what they are saying, and stay with them while you contact medical professionals.
My condolences from Degeneration X/FGI - I took some time to thoroughly read each of the posts here. Condolences have been said, thoughts and prayers have been given, and sympathy/empathy has been related. None of it changes the tragedy of a lost life, and the impact that has on friends, family, and anyone else’s life he may have touched during his time on this earth.
What it does change, is spreading a message of awareness and solution, so that any other person that struggles with the same, or similar conditions may find a path to peace. I’d like to share my personal experience at different points in life with suicidal intentions and ideation.Spoiler
Clinical depression works in many different ways and develops from so many circumstances, the science behind it seems limitless. What’s very plain and simple to me, is the undeniable sense of hopelessness, anguish, and despair that overwhelms the psyche, with the sense of feeling trapped without any way out. This is a large part of what directly led to my addiction, and I’m grateful to say that I’m now 2 years sober, working in a rehabilitation center for addicts and alcoholics to help others, the same way staff helped saved my life.
A catalyst event in my life was when I attempted, and failed, to commit suicide. As a result, my addiction spiraled out of control as the only method I knew how to change the way I felt. I won’t preach my personal solution from Alcoholics Anonymous, but what I will say is that no person is beyond redemption. Nobody is truly hopeless, no matter how certain we are of that feeling. There is a way out of that feeling.
I’ve lost a lot of friends to intentional overdoses because they forgot what solution looked like after discontinuing their programs of recovery. The only option in front of us is to grow however we can - because somebody else doesn’t have to die for you to make it, and you don’t have to die for someone else to make it. If you struggle with that, and are hesitant to reach out to professional help, please feel free to contact me personally, as a perfect stranger, even if it’s just to talk when you need someone to listen. I answer random numbers: (512) 590-0053. Just ask for a Friend of Bill (AA code).
I don’t want to offend anyone, but I removed the religious debate posts. This is not the time or place. All forms of solution should be welcome in a time of mourning, for anyone that can take away something good from it. None of us know if that post may save a life. But I know it won’t save anyone’s life if it isn’t there.
(I’ve shared this thread on some discord servers. My guild, First Dis0rder, is also spreading this awareness. It is my hope that awareness of your friend’s story will touch someone’s life. The smallest actions can make a world of difference. May the Force be you. Always.) - Devastating to hear, I hope their loved ones are handling everything okay.
And, as a moderation note, I've removed/edited some posts as this isn't the place to be discussing the merits of certain coping mechanisms. Please just be mindful that this isn't a thread where we should be talking about if solution X is good or not, we're here to remember a fan and community member.
Thanks. - All my love to C3PO's friends and family (and guild/shard mates). Thank you for sharing this. Everyone in this world carries a weight, some more than others. I've lost loved ones to suicide, and know many others here have as well. Be aware, and lend a hand.
Some days are hard, but I like to keep this one close to remind me there will be a tomorrow and that it holds unlimited possibilities:
This is a wonderful day. I've never seen this one before. - Maya Angelou - We made a tribute/ PSA video. We have asked YouTube to no monetize it. Don't know if that will happen but wanted to show it here.
