Yeah from a logical mindset it seems like an impossible thing for someone to cause their kids that much pain, but from a depressed/intoxicated mind people can get to a place where they get delusional enough to think that their kids (and the world in general) would be better off without them.
Where my first instinct is to say "fuck that asshole", I imagine he was in a place where he was not thinking rationally.

Cowards deserve no sympathy. We all have problems but abandoning your children like that is a inexcusable offense.
Maybe he has a huge life insurance policy and in his depression was convinced that he caused more grief and harm to his children alive than he would dead.

I don't understand how somebody so talented could think taking their life would make the world better. It's got to be some crazy demons in their head that I couldn't even imagine. We all have bad days, life is not easy but just could never kill myself

Still a fucking pussy. Rich or poor your kids are better off with you alive. There are certain situations where this doesnt apply but killing yourself for money is a bullshit excuse.

Hard to feel bad for someone who leaves 6 kids behind.
Hard to not feel bad for someone who is so troubled that they do this despite having 6 kids. This is a lot more complicated than you're presenting it as. The brain is a powerful thing. This isn't just a normal person making this decision. He had quite the past.

It's disappointingly clear how little some in this thread know about actual mental illness.

i met him a couple times when he had a local band in PHX, we had a lot of mutual friends at the time.

thought he was a giant dick, and his music was derivative at best.

Today's news hasn't changed my opinion, other than to think he's a bigger dick for what he did to his kids.

Not nice at all.


The comment, not mix.
Mix has his moments. But that comment sucks.
Thanks. But it's honest. It's 2017, there are hundreds of forms of birth control that either the mother or father could use. If I won a 7 gillion dollar lottery, I'd never want 6 kids, much less with multiple mothers. I love my nieces, but after 2 hours I am ready to lock them in a closet.

Does it make you feel better now after denigrating some who's just died? Whom we can safely assume was dealing with severe depression etc.

RIP Chester. Tragic news.

"Just dying" does not equate to killing yourself.

Who knows how long he had been dealing with this. His kids could have been what kept him going until the end.

It's takes an severe illness to kill oneself, an illness that obliterates any rational thinking, an illness so severe it makes you forget about your children, your family. So yeah, he's dead because of an illness. Mental illness is real.

I unfortunately know very well the effects of suicide on a family.

I see the shitshow has begun.

I feel for his family, especially the kids. Mental illness to someone that doesn't suffer will never make sense to them. There is no point arguing about it because it won't get us anywhere.

If you assume that he hated his children then yes fuck him.

But if you assume he loved his kids. Then imagine the pain and despair going on in his head to want to kill himself.

I'm assuming you're coming at me with this comment. My good friend had her boyfriend commit suicide 4 weeks before giving birth to their child, my fiance's mother committed suicide when she was 2 years old and left her to her grandparents, my good friend in Iraq committed suicide 6 years after we'd been home. I've been around it and mental illness enough to understand it. I also know that a multi-millionaire rock star would have the available means to get help. Hanging himself was selfish.
