Yes, definitely. I think, some tentative explanation will be contrived maybe, but mostly, it will defy explanation - especially in someone so young and that is what is so unsettling about it for me -- there's no reason for it to happen, lots of things could be done to prevent it ... And if you have suffered from depression or a similar illness yourself, you can relate and sense how needless and tragic it is. When I see stuff like that in the news, it is upsetting and it isn't quite like other tragic headlines, you're right.
