With a gun, and a girl injured on her head? Strange heart disease.
I only saw the blog post here where did you see other details? The link to the Mercury news states a man was found with no other details.
Geez guys...lighten up.
Besides, maybe I'm in the minority here but, I have very little sadness for those that decide to kill themselves. Unless there was some mental illness, suicide is one of the most selfish things you can do.
And let's be honest, I wouldn't expect anyone of you to feel sad if I decided to go jump out a window or hang myself at 1 Infinite Loop. But that's just me...

That happens when you've experienced the deaths of loved ones and had to grieve with those they left behind.
It's a lot easier to joke about it when it hasn't touched you personally.

Normally, I usually agree with you. Even now, of course you are correct. But this is a rumor site. Rumors are speculation. In addition, freedom of speech means freedom to make a fool out of yourself. When people go about burning the American flag, no one really cares about my sensitivity. In the end today, people are just too sensitive, deserved or not. If the family does not want this, then they should stay away from a rumor site. I think most of the responses are tackless, but some are funny none-the-less.
Couldn't agree more. My last girlfriend was a nueroscientist who researched antisocial behavior like suicide and psychopathy. She tried telling me antisocial behavior like suicide isn't about selfishness but profound depression and specific brain patterns. I told her she was wrong. It IS selfish. End of story.
See http://www.suicide.org/suicide-causes.html
Not to mention the people to feel most sad for are the friends and family left wondering what they could have done to prevent their loved one from committing suicide.
It's a "HE" - 11:42 PM PST -- A Sheriff spokesperson says the person found dead was a Hispanic male who worked at Apple ... there was no one else involved. It's still unclear why officers said there was a female with a head wound in the dispatch audio.

What the **** is the matter with you people. Someone died. Possibly someone's parent / child and you are making sick jokes.
Macrumors. Lock this thread and delete this ****.

She was the neuroscientist, but you're the expert. Silly little woman.
Ah yes, the expert against the MR member who has zero education on depression. I hope you find the hilarity in what you've exposed here.
My last girlfriend. Noted.
Hmmm...I'll wait on an independent study before believing that. And let's not even begin to debate that depression is a mental DISORDER and NOT an illness. Again, the person has a choice and often times chooses a solution that benefits only themselves and does not take into account anyone around them. Therefore, it is extremely selfish.
I have lost a very close loved one to suicide so I have a intimate understanding of the experience. Is it selfish? Honestly, I can't say so, especially since I loved them so much. Is it harsh? Very! There is a deep sorrow that follows and an emptiness that opens up. If you have a loving family around you though, it certainly brings you closer than ever.
Do I hate the person for what they did? I never could, because you love them too much. If I could bring them back to life I surely would give them a @ $$ whooping, hug them and never let them go.
Thoughts go out to the friends and family. It's always sad to loose someone, especially to suicide. I sincerely hope they didn't take their life over a layoff - there is always other job opertunities.
Whatever. Mental disorder/illness is splitting hairs and something you can take up with that website if it causes you stress. I'm sure if you're interested enough you can research the studies yourself, I don't feel any need to do so.
Never said it wasn't, although the folks I know who suffer from clinical depression might disagree about your dismissal of the impact of their condition.
Still, whether you are sorry for the dead person is moot. They're DEAD if you hadn't noticed. The people who are suffering now are that person's family, friends, and coworkers.
I can tell you've never in your life actually known anyone who has killed themself. I tell you what, when you've slipped so deep into depression that you can barely muster the strength to get out of bed in the morning, or feed yourself, or fight off the constant overwhelming feeling of emptiness and self-loathing and you feel like ending your life is the only way you'll ever stop feeling the mental torture of living with the crushing weight of depression, message me and I'll call you a ****ing coward. Because obviously anyone who ends their life is a coward and deserves no sympathy.
People don't just randomly decide to kill themselves. People kill themselves BECAUSE of mental illness.

I don't understand the distasteful, rude, and vile comments that I'm seeing. You guys are angry at Apple and making fun of them (which,... whatever; go ahead), and then you extend that to the (now deceased) employee?
Wow. The disgusting attitudes of the human race.
Makes me ashamed to be part of it.

Well, it definitely seems like the end of one story — that with your girlfriend.
May the victim of this incident, and his/her family, find peace. What a tragedy!
