Why did Donny Hathaway commit suicide???

Man, I felt sorry 4 myself 2day when I was crying like a baby born child over his song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" becoz the thought of his death crossed my mind while listening 2 this moving piece.

"Life is a funny thing. It hides many hidden things of a great many things.
However, if given enough etudy, life will eventually reveal them all to you."- Roberta Flack 1980

True indeed, how come a very beautiful person like that take his life with his own hands.

It seems that Phyllis & Donny take their own lives b4 they realize that they healed alot of ppl with their music. Now ain't that a bitch?? Its a curse how you heal the ppl around when you can't even heal yoself. I'm seeing the same thang happening 2 Lauryn Hill cry.

And the Q is remaining.

Hareepolis...Donny was found dead on the sidewalk near his room in a place called New York Essex Estate I think. There didn't appear to be any signs that he was fighting or stuggling and the window from his 15th floor room was neatly opened..leading the authorities to believe that he committed suicide. It was said by those close to him, that he very depressed and felt that no one really cared for him. Sometimes he had to be hositalized due to his depression and active mood swings.

Could it be his low self-esteem about his 'look'??
