Tragic.  It is not generally known that suicide is the second-leading cause of death among young people between the ages of 25-34.  Unfortunately, the signals are not always obvious when an individual is in danger of taking his or her own life; and help frequently comes too late.  The case of Tyler Hilinski also comes to mind.  These are high-profile incidences because they affected people in the public eye; but there are many more that remain private tragedy.

I hesitated posting this story before, but in this context, maybe it belongs here. Our own Ivan Maisel wrote about Tyler Hilinski.

EDIT: FWIW, the OP article was new, particularly the info about sexual assault, but the news of the suicide was posted on this board back in May. That may be why we didn't get much of a response to this post initially. As they say, tough topic to talk about.
