It's 40 years since we were friends in an awful boarding school, and a good 30 since he did it, so anger is out of the question. He came back to the city we'd been to school in, known without affection as 'the deep north' by people like us. He would have been gay (as we say nowdays....all my friends were, though to talk about it was inconceivable), he would have felt that was a category worthy of ethical comment, he would have taken drugs and had the usual problems growing up, he formed the unfortunate belief that psychiatry could help him, he chose the wrong psych, the ECT was terrible and to prevent any more he jumped in the path of a moving train. A lot of gay kids kill themselves, or did. I have to work at imagining people worrying about such things now, but I guess they do.
