That isn't an unconditional support system, though. Those people are only there for him because he fulfills some promise to them. They don't have a genuine interest in him outside of their athletic demands.

I knew someone was going to say this. I do research in suicide and I have found that the people who seem to have it all are the ones who consider, attempt, and commit suicide the most. A lot of this has to do with their being told "you have it all, you have NO RIGHT to complain." Imagine having emotional or psychological issues but everyone telling you to suck it up? All the money in the world (or friends, family, groupies, etc.) doesn't equate to happiness or emotional health.

The average suicide attempter is an outcry/attention seeker. They are hoping for intervention. Most completed suicides are "failed attempts" because loved ones fail to save the person like the person expected them to. If that woman had not been with T.O. when he took the overdose, he may've committed suicide "by accident." We will never know if he really wanted to die, but it's pretty safe to say that everyone knows quick and painless ways to kill themselves without getting a lot of attention.
