Suicide Stories
John, the intern at Magnolia hostel in Porto, Portugal said a friend of hise killed himself soon after he found out his girlfriend had been having a relationship with someone else for over a year.
John said he was a really good guy. As I think back I can't remember anyone saying that someone who killed themself was a really mean person.
