RIP, and condolences/blessings/comfort to the survivors.

I really feel for his kid. I can project from my own intermittent fits of blackness the distorted depressed mindset that allows one to rationalize dropping that sack of life-smashing cold isht on one's child - he must have been in an awful awful place with much cognitive distortion to make that bad of a choice.

You may not be wrong, but this strikes me as exceptionally insensitive and presumptuous, just my opinion of course.

Status: offline 		What makes this wine related was that he was on Vashon Island, filming an episode on Seattle and wine. I’m sure he had to have been or scheduled to be at the Andrew Will winery.

It’s just sad.

Depression and this stuff really isn’t a choice. We don’t know if he had some really bad news similar to Robin Williams.

As for myself I’m fine with people checking out on their own much more than visiting the school or the office to bring a few more with them and forcing suicide by coping sure more information will follow in the days to come. I used to talk with his wife via messages and have good friends that know Zamir quite well. Maybe it was all just too much. One of the few journalist foodies to get into Libya before it totally went to hell. I’ll always love his “No Resevations” episode on Emilia-Romana. RIP.

This. Those of us who do not suffer from depression are lucky; but it also removes all context to understand what it does to those we love, those we admire.

Status: offline 		My favorite quote from him was that “The body is not a temple, it’s an amusement park. Enjoy it while you can. “

I’m waiting to hear more on this but a big loss for humanity. He opened up many minds in the USA, if they were paying attention to reducing xenophobia and enjoying unknown cultures.
