RIP.

Do we know this is Bitcoin related, though? Or even finance related, for that matter?

Bitcoin is rapidly becoming the new meme for tragedies. Just like video games were before. "This guy killed himself. He Played videogames." No direct association, but the reader is bound to make it when you present only a SINGLE fact, and you bury this kind of observation in dozens of stories, no matter how poorly relevant that fact is.

I think it's safe to say suicide is rarely anything but mental health related. There are triggers for sure, but people in good mental health don't generally face those triggers and put suicide on the table as a potential solution.

This was originally reported on Feb 27th.

Still sad.

and reported on HN yesterday or two days ago. Just saying.

This isn't the first time this has been submitted to HN. The same story was submitted from another site 4 hours ago (and killed): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7351374.

I'm not saying they're at all linked, but this reminded me of Shane Todd: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Shane_Todd

Seriously?

This is like the fourth time that someone posts this to HN in the past 24 hours. And just as those, this will get deleted.

Please stop.

there is no evidence this has any relations to bitcoins
