I met Brian Keith when I was a little kid. He was in my town filming a movie. I waited near a door a long time until he finally came outside. He gave me his autograph. He was very nice to this little fan.

Always adored Brian Keith! He was terminally ill and chose not to be in agony or agonize others with the brutal end of the disease. Can't say that I blame him.

I was previously on a blood pressure medication for very high blood pressure that was life threatening. After taking it for a few weeks. I realised that this medication was making me feel so depressed that I could not function. I had overwhelming thoughts of just wanting to die and to get out of this world into a better place with the Lord.I had NO suicidal tendencies. Of course my blood pressure was lowered but after I recognised my behaviour, it became apparent that the medication made me feel this way, so, I stopped taking it. Within a day I was back to my normal bubbly and energetic and life loving self after stopping the medication. It's amazing what many drugs the mainstream doctors prescribe that can have an affect on you mentally.

Very interesting that a number of persons who had committed suicide had other family members that committed suicide as well.

One thing I hate to read is that they were "cowards" or "selfish" or the worst- "they took the easy way out"... people should never judge what they do not understand.

***** Thats pretty sad, life at times can be hard to stay positive, even more so for some people, life is way too short as it is, without prematurely ending it.

I have been a firefighter for 29 years, and have seen more suicides than I care to remember, but still can't forget. But they weren't "beautiful" they weren't singers or actors. They didn't hang with the hip crowd. They were not the sons and daughters of Hollywood royalty, or multi millionaires. So there are no videos. No sad songs, nobody talking about how bad they will be missed, because they were talented and had so much to live for. But they all have one thing in common. They were all so sick that suicide looked like a good idea, and I find that sad. Suicide is not glamorous. It is hauntingly ugly. There is always a better alternative. Always.

Danny Schwartz I look at it like this: At least I heart broken for 15 years. I love Jeff Goldblum's line in Jurassic Park, "I'm always looking for my next ex-wife." :)

Of all of these, the one I remember that was the biggest shock was Freddie Prinze. He was incredibly popular and seemed so likable and happy. Some of the others seemed openly tortured mentally or just plain out of control, but Freddie Prinze was a stunner. I wasn't even a real fan of his, but he was someone you saw on tv or talk shows and just liked. Don't be afraid to ask, even a stranger, just never give up.

I clicked on this because everyone in my grandmother's town says Marilyn Monroe was murdered by someone in the Kennedy family. I've always wondered. If true, it looks like there will never be justice for her.

Dear Linda Nicholls, The first time I truly became aware of suicide was when I was in the seventh grade and saw on the news that Anissa Jones had died of a drug overdose. I was a big fan of "Family Affair," and it's particularly sad not only Jones' death, but also Brian Keith's suicide. I was not aware of his stepmother or daughter taking their own lives until seeing your video presentation here. There is such a fine line between life and death and sometimes the line can blur. There is nothing worse for a human being than the feeling of loneliness or rejection whether one is a celebrity or an every-day person. I understand your premise in using celebrities as a means to highlight depression and suicide. And I commend you for it...

+Johnny Utah Jim Henson Sr. Died of Sepsis, a bacterial infection of the blood, which caused toxic shock. Somehow a virulent form of Staph or Strep got into his bloodstream, most likely through a small cut, and began multiplying overwhelmingly. When this type of bacteria die, they release a toxin into the bloodstream that causes the walls of blood vessels to become "leaky"; blood plasma leaks out into the body's tissues, depleting the intravascular volume, and causing a severe(and often quite sudden) drop in blood pressure, which causes hypoperfusion of the main organs. The main cause of death in these patients is usually respiratory failure, related to the severe leakage of the body's fluids into the lungs(the patient essentially drowns); or to multi-system organ failure related to the generalized hypoperfusion. Patients can die in under twelve hours from severe acute toxic shock - Jim Henson passed away about that long after the FIRST appearance of symptoms, which were initially like severe flu - sudden high temp, achy feeling, cough and running nose, just overall malaise. Most people also develop a characteristic fine red rash all over that does not itch, and in later stages may also show tiny pinpoint hemmorhages in the skin called petechiae. The rash has a very characteristic appearance and looks a lot like a sunburn. Sudden onset of flue-like symptoms and a bright red rash is an indication for a QUICK ER visit; early treatment is vital. Jim Henson delayed treatment by five or six hours and by the time he went to the ER, his blood pressure was already beginning to drop out and I believe (IIRC) they lost him to severe hypotension, which basically caused his heart to fail. Really sad.

We smile when we are sad. We feel alone in a full room of people. It also runs in families like mine. And as you can tell from the Hemingway's. When a person has a limb missing we can see his pain, but you cant see this. I am lucky I seeked help, but for those of you that don't, just know there are people out there that can help, seek it and you shall find. God Bless

Actually a very nice tribute. Wonderful music track.

I work for DoD and our personnel training includes suicide training. New evidence and analysis is showing that those that commit suicide were not dwelling on it for months or years or because of long-term depression but more often, the decision to kill ones self is decided the day that they do it; that person decides that it's time and the decision is made because they feel that there is no alternate. This is why it is difficult to watch over someone and stop them because they'll make the choice when you're least likely to be around and given the chance, they'll decide it's time.

Thank you Linda for doing this video. It brings awareness to the topic and you are right using public faces facilitates international coverage effectively. To the person who moaned about the music, one must learn to appreciate all forms of musical expression. It seemed appropriate to use sad music for a sad topic.

A very well done video and love the song was that Janis ian?

What a beautiful video thanks. I was shocked how one family member can lead to others.

Beautiful song and voice...great tribute along with sobering but very important info about the seriousness of depression and permanence of suicide or wreck less behavior with addiction...well made point with taste, love, thoughtfulness and honor...sweet, very touching and thought provoking...thank you...:) xo

It is sad how depression and suicide run in families. Depression runs in my family. I tried suicide once, and contemplated doing it again countless times. I am still depressed daily, it keeps me from doing what I need to do to grow and move forward. Depression sucks the life and energy out of you.

Some of the drug overdoses were accidental. In any case they are just horrible, and the actual suicides, especially the young ones, are always shocking. Terrible. They definitely had great emotional pain, depression is an illness to be taken very seriously.

Hunter S. Thompson would've been a legit inclusion. I know though, Linda, that it's hard to think of EVERYone who might've fit the subject, but the tale of his suicide is pretty chilling. Another one that a lot of people don't know of is Ray Combs, the host of Family Feud after Richard Dawson. Combs went to great lengths to kill himself. His story is intense.

Several of my coworkers and a friend who was like a brother to me who was a successful therapist, community leader, chamber of commerce president and active in his local church at age 55 robbed a bank and then drove his car off a cliff when he got caught. It was shocking to all who knew him but if I made a video of all the suicides of unknown people, everyone would say "I never heard of any of these people". I don't believe any life is more important than another but I used celebrities because people know who they are, not because I think they are more important.

And then you live with the guilt that you didn't see it coming...because they can hide it so well. In my family we had 'collateral damage" as my sister's suicide shortened my widowed mother's life by quite a few years. She simply grieved to death. What you have done is not only a lovely tribute, but an education or wake up for some. And I repeat what I didn't do myself: If you see a loved one in trouble and "wonder", don't wonder, take action and get them to someone who can help.

+linda nicholls Linda, thank you for this video. It's beautifully done, and I found it incredibly sobering. It certainly raises the issue in a non-confrontational way. I do take your point about using celebrities, that you're not saying they're somehow more important, or "worth" more, than the "average" person. But they are people that we can jointly be aware of, and their place in the public eye means that details can be conveyed that might not be able to be stated for more private people, and that helps understanding. I think also it serves to demonstrate that we can't know from outside a person what turmoil might be raging in their spirit; that even though they might appear to us to have all the ingredients for success and contentment, that people can still be staggered and in deep pain. I think that's important to be mindful of.

Beautifully done. Thank you.

Also, the only reason why Michael had died was because the careless doc was found OUTSIDE OF THE ROOM talking to his girlfriend instead of monitoring his one patient. The jurors spent many hours and many months before they decided without any doubt, that threw that doc thrown him in prison.

I just want to echo what some people have said. This is so well done. There is a lot of lurid stuff on KZread but this is sensitive and resptecful mainly helped by the beautiful choice of music. I haven't heard that song for years and years. A star who took his own life that I always remember is Pete Duel from Alias Smith and Jones.

Singer, songwriter and producer, Donny Hathaway had suffered from Paranoid Schizophrenia and jumped from his hotel room balcony when the voices in his head took him over the edge and past the point of no return. Such a brilliant, musical talent too...so tragic! All these suffering, young lost souls taking their own lives from their tortuous illnesses are just so horribly tragic.

Very sad, beautiful music to accompany such pain.

Excellent job you did on this. R.e. Monroe, there is very strong evidence pointing to the possibility that she was murdered. Even the doctor who performed her autopsy provided details that suggests that her death wasn't self-inflicted.

THE singer is Janis Ian, popular in the late 70's early 80's.

Most of these weren't suicides. They weren't following the rules laid out for them by the powers that be, and were eliminated.

+iblockpuncheswithmyface Well that went even darker. You ok?

Love, love that beautiful voice. I'd recognize Janis Ian's voice and I have only heard one previous song by her, "At Seventeen"......also very sad. I am shocked at the pattern of suicides in families. I am so saddened to learn about Gig Young and Brian Keith...totally in the dark. I hope they are living joyfully in Heaven.

DISCLAIMER: I don’t know who or what added erroneous subtitles to my video but they are incorrect and were NOT posted or approved by me. If I had done it, they would be accurate and spelled correctly. I find this extremely disrespectful and distracting. Please try to ignore them while watching the video if you are able. Thank you and I apologize for this distraction.

Life is hard in a lot of ways but you have to be harder and keep on going. Suicide is like reading a good book or watching a good movie and closing the book or turning off the movie half way through and never knowing how it ends.

The song is called #Stars# by Janis Ian

What the hell is it with the Hemingway family? They never heard of dying of old age? I mean, damn! Him, his father, his sister, his brother AND his granddaughter? That is taking it a little TOO far.

It's so sad, all these people with so much potential. Some so young. I remember most of them and it makes me want to cry. May they rest in peace.

I knew Robin Williams for a minute. He used to come and watch my band Lip Service when we played at Madam Wong's in Chinatown (L.A.). I still miss him.

what is that song ??

What they really mean on Marilyn Monroe is "Murdered by the Kennedy's".

very well done!👍

Very nice presentation..

What is the music track called?

What song is that and who sings it

After watching that I feel so terribly sad. Poor human beings - we can never find what we're looking for - can we ?

That dreary song accompanying this could itself cause someone to off himself.

+eoselan7 Janis Ian's music is very depressing but hauntingly beautiful. She is older now but began writing music at age 13. Her first hit was "Society's Child" about an interracial couple and how they were mistreated by society. It caused much controversy as it came out in the early 1960s.

+jedaaa, Janis Ian made only one album, just type her name. You shall find the full album. It's pretty amazing. She had a beautiful voice. I think the song is called "Stars".

I felt fine before I watched that. Nice tribute and definately reach out if you're troubled, but that 7 minute song was enough to have me contemplating suicide. I cant believe she came up with that many different depressing verses.

Does anyone know the name of the song?

Such brilliant and beautiful souls that you have shared on this You Tube.Nice song by M's.Ian.I see them and wondered what happened to have brought them to this point and junction in there lives.But I can answer that:I Once took care of a patient that had such huge depression and sorrow and nothing we did that evening would or could have stopped him from hanging himself.I guess that if you are meant to do it you will do it somewhere when no one is watching or around to stop them from taking there life,no matter what, there going to do it.And yes we did psychological sessions and even E.C.T. therapy.Thank You for sharing those pictures of those wonderful people.Ray the Pilot,,left medicine for aviation,Thank God.

Linda, I can't even type, I'm stunned. So, so many, I wasn't aware. of. So sorry and thank you.

freddie sr was only 22?? damn, thats young

Linda I think you handled the tribute very sensitively, the music is beautiful and reminiscent of Carol King singing "when I was Seventeen". like you I struggle with how you help, I spent hours and days with a friend who had Anorexia coaxing her to eat...she WS sectioned at the time. six months later (we lived in diff cities)she got off her section, lied to her doctors re where she was going and hid in a flat....they eventually found her body she had locked herself in and starved herself to death...god the thought of it....she was 21.

What is this song and whpmis singing it?

The truth of the pain in her song is so true. The pain in many eyes is the empties in their eyes is a mirror of what's happening inside. The wonderful hope is for all that have gone, is they are asleep in the dust of the earth, they will live again in the coming New World, when Jesus restores the dead back to a New Earth without the pain that took them away. Acts 24:15 Daniel 12 :2 Revelation 21:3,4. Isaiah 65:17 none of that pain will be called to mind. What a beautiful reflection on the GIFT of LIFE.

Very sad to know these people suffered so greatly they had no other way out of the pain than to kill themselves. This is a beautiful song, who is the singer?

Let us not judge or condemn these people. Many so-called suicides are really murders. Murders committed by envious people, people who hate them or want something they have or from the spiritual realm. May their souls RIP.
