Fatal Incident at Howth Junction

I really hope this was an accident and not a suicide. There have been far too many of these over the last while, it's really time Ireland started focusing more on mental health. Condolences to the loved ones of the person involved and thinking of the driver too.

More like God help his family if he has one, The driver, The people on the train, the people at howth junction, the drivers family and so much more. I have no sympathy for people who scar so many others when only thinking of themselves. No thought for the people left behind.

my mam has this backwards way of thinking too.
the first time she said it to me, I was actually shocked to hear her say it.
I understand her reason's for feeling that way(she lost people in her own life very young), but I still lost a bit of respect for her in that moment.

I'd imagine anyone considering killing themselves, would have thought about everybody left behind many times!
I'd imagine it's what had stopped them killing themselves the first(second,third,+...) time they felt like they wanted to go.
But after suffering for whatever amount of time, they get to a point where they feel like they can't take it anymore.

everyone would sympathize with the people left behind, but don't write off the person who was suffering to the point of ending their own life. that's a bit unfair I think

The only thing they seem to be conforming to is their own ideas, well look it aint my fault or the bus drivers or the guy an hour late for work. They don't give a monkeys about anyone else when they do these things so why should we care after the fact? Cant blame them for their mental state but yes we can blame them for altering the other people involved mental states.

I found someone before who had died by hanging themselves.
the only dead person I had ever seen before that was from a distance for about 3 minutes.
(*I'm just after remembering now, that that person I had seen dead^, was in fact an aunt of a friend of mine who hung themselves too)
obviously it was awful for me to find someone in that situation, and I did got an awful fright.
Not once though have I ever been angry at that person for me finding them.
that person was alone when they had died.
probably racked with guilt, sadness and even fear.
my sympathy is mostly with the person who felt they were better off gone.

EDIT: to add something*
