I’ve known Walter Koenig for a whole buncha years now; last time I saw him was at George Takei’s wedding. When I heard his son disappeared, I prayed he’d return safely. And it’s true that God answers all prayers, but sometimes the answer is “No.”
No matter how depressed you are, no matter how bad things may be, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Seek help. Seek support in the arms of friends. Don’t go the path of Andrew, because although you may believe you’re ending your pain, the amount of pain you will be leaving behind you for your loved ones is incalculable.
My greatest sympathies to Walter and his family.
