Draven Rodriguez's parents tell the Times-Union of Albany their son committed suicide Thursday at their Schenectady home. He was 17. Rodriguez had wanted his senior yearbook portrait to show him holding his cat Mr. Bigglesworth, with lasers in the background. He posted the photo online, and it went viral. The school denied his request but said the photo could appear somewhere in the Schenectady High School yearbook. Principal Diane Wilkinson got in on the act and posed similarly with her Chihuahua. The portraits were to appear on the principal's yearbook page to raise awareness for the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and rescue animals.[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/teen-who-gained-fame-over-laser-cat-portrait-dies/ar-BBhQE7t[/url] [url]http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/laser-cat-teen-dies-apparent-suicide-report-article-1.2123950[/url]
Truly an hero to us all [highlight](User was banned for this post ("dumb snipe" - OvB))[/highlight]
Do we know why he committed suicide? Neither article has the reason, unless I missed it
Any reason for his suicide? Articles don't say anything.

if i had to guess it's probably bullying if it's related to the pic
A guy I knew from highschool shot himself a few years ago. To this day, I don't think anyone knows why he did it.
The school should have let him make that his yearbook picture. That's something you will look back on sometime later in the future and have fond memories about.

[QUOTE=Hugg;47191576]if i had to guess it's probably bullying if it's related to the pic[/QUOTE] Hmm, he was apparantely popular and seemed like a chill guy: [url]https://instagram.com/dravenrodriguez/[/url]
Fuck that's sad. That's a pretty cool yearbook photo imo

[QUOTE=ovoxo;47192029]How's it hanging? heh[/QUOTE] no
[QUOTE=ovoxo;47192029]How's it hanging? heh[/QUOTE] oh dear
[QUOTE=ovoxo;47192029]How's it hanging? heh[/QUOTE] stop
Report and move on, about the "How's it hanging?" guy. On topic, it's a shame someone who seemed to be so chill/happy enough to take such a funny/great photo killed themselves, it's a shame when anyone kills themselves.
That's a damn shame.
That sucks. That's a rad image to leave behind in a yearbook.
Sad to hear

[QUOTE=Bathtub;47194072]its not always depression[/QUOTE] Unless he was in some sort of serious trouble like a drug cartel being after him, it usually is depression.
[QUOTE=ovoxo;47192029]How's it hanging? heh [highlight](User was banned for this post ("very funny" - Orkel))[/highlight][/QUOTE] I can see why the ban is justified, but it seems like this is just mirroring that time when Craptasket posted that same comment on a dead brony Facepuncher's profile after they'd hung themselves. At least, that's what I remember.
