Artists' List: Artists Who Committed Suicide

Sunday August 14, 2005
Much as researching this has completely creeped me out, this newest reference list of artists deals with those who died by their own hands. Why, you ask? Well, because - believe it or not - questions about this topic come in on a regular basis. I supposed it was time to assemble a web page and have done with it, as well as time to move beyond my personal discomfort over the subject. For the record: this has occurred within my family tree, and I don't hold with it. Suicide is an unbelievably rotten trip, forced upon those left behind. If you even remotely suspect anyone you know is leaning towards this option, please, please point them towards these contact numbers. On behalf of me and mine, thanks in advance.
