What the heck is wrong with you? The poor man died by suicide and you’re downplaying it. Please let the family grieve instead of making weird remarks. That’s really not cool.
Not only that, talking about the attractiveness of this man’s wife and how her husband’s suicide might affect that. Fuckin’ gross.
I don't understand suicide. There was a lot to his life to seemingly envy, and support network failure is a reasonable consideration if suicide claim is true.
"I don't understand" is a fine statement to start with, but it's not the end. Take the initiative to educate yourself on the topic.
The latest research suggests that depression may be caused by low neuron production in the hippocampus, leading to lower neurotransmitter communication in the brain. This condition is passed down from generation to generation, genetically. Stressful life events can also contribute significantly given the above conditions, but they're not essential.
It's an illness and can be cured, but depression puts a damper on seeking help. Friends, family, and even the affected person themselves often don't see the warning signs in the moment.
Current antidepressants boost neurotransmitter production and can take weeks to be effective, so new research is investigating boosting neuron production as an alternative or complement.
FYI I'm not an expert on this topic; I just took 10 minutes to research it online.

Maybe if you don't understand something shut the fuck up?
Lots of people who seemingly have everything commit suicide. They just want out.
