If a person's close friend's and family have no idea the person is suicidal how do you expect a total stranger to figure this out?

One of my co workers went to a large military exercise. The guy in the bunk next to him committed suicide while he was out on the exercise. We have received suicide training out the ying-yang for over a year and a half now. My friend said he exhibited none of the symptoms that we have been trained to look for.

Sometimes you will never know until the act is attempted.

The Gun Range has probably been in the news a lot...the guy that committed suicide might have seen a news report.

I have suffered from depression luckily I am off meds and better now. My Wife thank goodness put a foot up my rear and got me to see someone.
I never had any suicidal thoughts or anything like that I did have some anger issues but I have gotten that under control.
