Radiologist, living in a fancy suburb and driving a Tesla, two young kids, neighbors say they were a "beautiful, idyllic family, no indication of issues", wife apparently had no clue as well...and then he randomly decides to drive his family off a cliff. You can never really know WTF is going on in a person's head. Hope everyone (especially the kids) can get all the help they need to recover and move on.

Medicine is a high stress job and environment, suicide and mental health issues are higher than national averages. The money is great but the mental price tends to be high. Not justifying anything but I guess I’d more more surprised if a construction worker or something did it.

Construction workers actually have massively outsized rates of suicide, way higher than most jobs. Their harsh and unsupportive work culture leads to a lot of repressed mental health issues.

I do understand the point you’re getting at though

I picked a blue collar job since most feel more fulfilled than white collar but of course I chose poorly

Neighbors only see from the outside. He could be having a tinder account on his phone wife discovered it or something. You never know with people

Maybe he got a brain tumor, and maybe from he got it from his job. Would explain his erratic behavior

People like to pretend like these decisions don't live in a vacuum. The conditions were right for this man to listen to the void, but it's possible the decision was made in a vacuous moment when he was weak, or compromised somehow.

Don't get me wrong, fuck this guy. It's just that we've all felt the call before and it's not that hard to imagine someone being compromised to the point of answering.

I think the opposite of the void. Ride on two wheels a lot and the random thought pops in my head every once in a blue moon, Man its really really easy to become road paste. This ride is no longer fun I am now going to go home.
