I posted about the finding of Andrew Koenig’s body over on True/Slant. Have you seen the press conference with his parents? Tragic. His father is completely broken up over it, but he and his wife still found the time and the strength to counsel others who have depressed relatives.

And here’s an online depression screening from the Mayo Clinic that Pete Quily passed along.

my heart goes out to andrew’s family and friends. it’s hard enough losing someone to illness or accident, but suicide is doubly tragic because of all the unanswered questions and self-doubts that swirl around it.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Andrew’s parents,
such a tragic loss for them and also to his friends
who knew him, it will be hard for them to understand
why this had to happen. May they all find peace and hope
in the days to come.
