I'm surprised they reported it, is is an unspoken rule that suicides are not publicized by the news unless there is a compelling reason, sad.

A 41-year-old Rosemead man apparently died by suicide in Pasadena’s Eaton Canyon Park early on Tuesday, police said.

The man, who reportedly suffered from depression and had attempted suicide at the park last year, reportedly hanged himself from a tree on the Henninger Trail, authorities said.

Family members reportedly discovered his body around 6:50 a.m. after finding a suicide note at his home, according to Pasadena Police Lt. Edgar Sanchez.

Death is cheap in Eaton....this is a high traffic area.
One of historical mentions was "The body, found Monday evening, was an "apparent suicide," according to Deputy Jeff Gordon of the Headquarters Bureau......A body was also found . The cause of death in that case was a gunshot wound"

Wait...can you imagine they ended up with 2 one time? There also was a body off the side of the toll road?!

Just in case...

Deconstructing 'Myths About Suicide'

https://www.npr.org/2010/04/28/12636590 ... ut-suicide

There are many myths about suicide: that it's an act of selfishness, that it's cowardly, that it's just a cry for help.

Psychologist Thomas Joiner has studied suicide his entire professional life -- and says much of what we assume about suicide is wrong. In Myths About Suicide, Joiner explains why we have so many misconceptions about this heart-wrenching facet of human behavior.

With better understanding, Joiner says, we can do a better job of preventing suicide -- and supporting those it leaves behind.

Very sad. Sometimes others cannot recognize the signs until it's too late. Especially those who are closest to the victims.
