People do not kill themselves without compounding factors. Either your brain is physically sick, or it was broken by the environment (eg. being gay in a town where everyone hates gays). Suicide is a symptom of mental illness, the same way your face freezing is a symptom of a stroke.

Chester, Robin Williams, Marilyn Monroe, and almost all other famous suicide victims obviously had nothing immediate in their life causing depression: that basically guarantees that they either had a mental illness or had such a troubling childhood that they were damaged beyond repair.

Either way, we should feel sorry for them the same way we feel sorry for a cancer victim: both die because of an illness (and in both cases it's an illness that can either be inherited or gained through shit that happened to you in life). It's not "their choice", because by definition if your brain (the thing making choices) isn't working properly then you obviously can't make a true choice.
