Only selfish people off themselves.

In this case, the guy was being selfish because he had a wife and daughters to care for, in addition to guaranteeing that they would be the ones to find the body.

However, people like you love to say that suiciders are selfish, without ever considering the selfishness of those around them who often leave their own loved-ones to rot or may even engage in enough cruelty to prompt such an attempt.

Is a teenager who kills himself after years of parental abuse selfish? Maybe, but not more so than the bastard of a parent who drove him to it. Is a husband and father who kills himself after a nasty divorce selfish? Maybe, but no more so than the bitch of a wife who left him and took their kids, falsely claiming spousal abuse or sexual abuse toward the kids in order to get the court to forbid the man to see his own children.

Your blanket statement is that of a self-righteous blowhard. You have no idea what some people go through, so you'd be best off leaving the judgment to God.

Make suicide sympathetic, and you get more suicide.

Make it clear that anybody who commits suicide will be remembered with contempt, and you get less of it.

Evidently you prefer the former course of action.
