I wonder what his mood was about starting college and if he really didn't want to go. is mother will have to come to terms with everything which won't be easy.

Some people are just wired different where they can't handle stress or get very anxious. e probably would have committed suicide later if he didn't that day. I wonder if he's had a history of it, chances are he's threatened or tried it before.
