But he lived a fuller life in his 61 years than most of the rest of us will in our lifetimes.
Young children are the true victims of suicides. Kate Spade had a 13 year old daughter. Children left behind to cope with the suicide is what I find sad.

The suicide rate has been increasing steadily, for a variety of complex reasons. Unfortunately, about half of people who complete suicide (not just attempt) have had a parent who completed suicide. Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade's young daughters shouldn't have to face this burden.

I just took a quick look at the CDC website for some figures. In 2016, 44,193 Americans committed suicide, and the rate of suicide is increasing. It's a troubling statistic with a huge human cost aside from the deceased.
