DARREN CRISS BROTHER is DEAD TO ME!!!

What a powerful and touching message. How heartbreaking for him and his loved ones. My condolences and sympathy to his loved ones.

When it comes to suicide, it's always tragic, I just hope he wasn't found by someone who loved him. That just seems like an extra level of cruelty when people kill themselves in the home

Omg, that's so sad.

I'm not usually frau-ish about these kinds of things, but Darren seemed really close to his brother.

I can't imagine losing someone that way.

I feel bad for him.

I am always bummed out when the DETAILS of the suicide are not revealed. We have a right to know how people off themselves. You cannot just drop the "suicide bomb" and then ask for privacy. Was it hanging? Dope? A gun? DETAILS please!!

That's incredibly messed up. I just hope he and his family don't blame themselves for this. That's usually the first, and understandable, response to these tragedies. In reality, there's nothing you can do in these situations. I think that's what makes it so much worse...the powerlessness of it all. :(

I wonder if there had been signs but Darren was so self-absorbed he missed them.

Or if Darren just needed so much attention that his brother saw no other way out.

Must draw attention...

Look at me!

LOOK! AT! ME!!!!

First time I have been on TMZ in years. And look at all this junk they are peddling. WoW. What a garbage money grubby site they became.

My first partner (we were together 8 years) committed suicide. A .38 to the temple is very effective. We were both at home. Yes, I was there when it happened. The fact I was there created some issues re: police investigation (I had to hire an attorney). But, the bottom line is I knew he was hurting deeply, emotionally. I tried to encourage him to get help, but he refused.

Based on my experience, there are a lot of reasons someone may believe that death is their best option. Once they have convinced themselves of that idea, there is not much that will change it.

And he's not going to be able to meet his new niece or nephew. :(

Well this sure is a warm and fuzzy feel-good thread right outta the gate.

R2- It really is. My cousin shot himself in the head. His mother walked into the room just as he pulled the trigger.

R9-Bottom feeders. Mama Pimps little bitches.

And this is news! Fuck off, OP. Scuzzbucket.

R13 Christ that's brutal.

My great uncle got himself a steak dinner, then a haircut, then parked his car in front of the police station and ate his pistol. Still tragic and messy, but beats traumatizing your family with your body.

R11 I think its a girl. Photos of the baby shower they had there was pink everywhere.

“Do we know whether he died of natural causes?”

R16- I'm so sorry. Yes, not to be gruesome, but the damage from a GSW to the head is unimaginable. We hired professional cleaners so she was spared from dealing with cleaning and repairing the damage to the room. She has never been the same. We basically lost both of them that day.

It was before I was born, but I always thought it was somewhat considerate that he did it that way. When you see those ghastly stories of "kids come home from school to find dad hanging from a beam in the basement", I'm just like...fucking Christ.

playlist?stuff? fine ass

anybody?

Haircut THAT bad, huh?

R20- Totally agree, how unnecessarily traumatic for them. I am fine now, but I have thought about suicide. ( Mostly during the clown years) I would never do that to anyone. I would go deep into the woods and years later someone might find my bleached bones. I find it unacceptable that people with terminal illness have no pain free and dignified option to end their pain, but suicide from depression and mental illness is always so heartbreaking and you always wish they had reached out for help. The state of our non-existent mental health services for all people is shameful.

The Glee curse continues....

Oh, girl.

Omg, that is disturbing. How many are left?

You don’t want loved ones to find the body, but you also don’t want them not knowing what happened to you. The police station was a good idea. Better cops who have probably seen their share of dead bodies than the hotel maid.

Darren needs to write a book about how the suicide was really all about him. Get that cash!

r19 if someone told you a family member shot themselves in the head and his friends volunteered to clean up what would that say to you? That he had some really good friends?

Turkey baster Darren? Right?

People who commit suicide feel like they are ready to start over. People have the right to end their current lives however and whenever they feel like!! Not wanting to be in your current body doesn’t make you mentally insane or so says the pro trans brigade!

R29- We immediately hired professional cleaners to spare everyone the trauma of that. I mean, sorry to be so morbid but his brain matter was on the walls and ceiling. No one should have to see that.

His brother was cuter than Darren,but what was he,5'3 ? I do feel bad for him,though I never liked him ,not even on Glee. Something seems so phony about him,and Im not talking about the obvious gayness either.

Who wrote this horseshit? Oh, TMZ. No wonder it reads like someone illiterate wrote it.

Often, the guys who work at the coroner’s office are open to picking up some off-the-clock cash by cleaning the scene for you.

They actually wrote “DC”? WTF? Is this an article or a tweet?

[quote] I'm so sorry. Yes, not to be gruesome, but the damage from a GSW to the head

There’s no such thing as GSW, fatass. Write properly.

How is that "only straight roles" working out for him?

The closet kills!

I feel bad for DC. He lost several friends on Glee at such young ages & now this.

He and his brother were close

The husbear's cousin called out to his mother. As she entered the room he slit his throat from ear to ear. Blood shot up to the ceiling and on to the walls. He really loathed that bitch.

The brother was in Darrens shitty band. Video = straight Darren is with a "special guest star" and very bloated Adam Lambert. Maybe the brother saw how hideous this video turned out and decided to end it all?

Adam Lambert is the exact reason people like Darren Cris (and Shemar Moore) stay so deeply closeted. He was good looking,immensely talented and should have been much bigger. Im glad he lived his truth ,but it cost him a lot of money. He should have pulled a Ricky Martin and got all the money THEN said "Im gay"

He had 3 young children...When a person has a parent who has committed suicide, they are at higher risk of committing suicide.

My impish little daughter committed suicide. You just manage, somehow, to carry on.

And find someone else for your sister act.

I've posted on suicide threads before; I lost my best friend to suicide over three years ago. I still think about him all the time. I live in LA and lived here for decades before I found a decent person. He was so caring.

He cared so much that he couldn't live here. Never had a bud like him before - fear I never will again.

Someone recently asked me what I would have done if I'd known he was in so much pain. I said I would have loved him more.

He had me until he said, “nay” in his statement. I hate DC and wherever he is on the spectrum of gay bating - gay for casting - or deeply closeted. Such a garbage person, talent aside.

That said completing suicide is a tragic end especially those who survive the act. A group of close male friends lost their “alpha” friend to suicide several years ago, the mourning, survivors guilt and general aftermath continues 5 years later. He found a way out of his problems but left decimation in his wake.

That's one way to get people to pay attention to you and maybe fork out for an overpriced ticket to the show you're in that opens in a couple of weeks on Broadway.

[quote]What is clear, however, is how much thought Darren put into breaking this to the public -- because his note here is incredibly powerful and well worth a read in full.

An excerpt:

"Me me me me me me me. Doodah. Doodah.

"Me me me me me me me. All the doodah day.

"I'll miss him!"

R49 yes I'm sure that's the only reason he posted it.

Milk it. Milk it!

Atta boy!

Wring every last bit of press and attention you can out of it.

I'm so proud.

So many suicides lately

Y'all think this was a similar situation cuz his career stallin?

His brother looks more mixed race than Darren.

I was looking and it seems there are some studies that mixed race and biracial people have higher suicide rates.

He knew Putin was nuke us all anyway in a few months, so he took the initiative.

I get depression and suicide. I just wish people like that would not have kids. Why do we tell people having kids is the default option. The horror of the kids lives every day for the next 80 years - never had to happen.

He has young kids too. I think the youngest is around 3.

Why is every time a celebrity talk or respond about something its needs to be "powerful" or in this case "incredibly powerful" ?

Because he's a CELEBRITY r60, and our stupid shitty culture worships the ground they walk on.

The GOOD News = The Glee Curse continues....The BAD News = Lea and Darren are still around.

r43 Everybody’s Waitin’ For The Man With the Bag?

[quote]The Glee Curse continues....

Does a sibling of a cast member qualify?

[quote]The BAD News = Lea and Darren are still around.

I'm not a fan of either of them, but that's just an awful thing to say. Even for Datalounge. You don't sound as if you enjoy good mental health.

[quote]You don't sound as if you enjoy good mental health.

Are you lost?

Good Mental Health qualifies as Fake News here at DL!

People who commit suicide are the most selfish people on earth.

Its too simple to explain that suicidal people are in insufferable psychic pain. (Or physical pain for those who kill themselves for that.) Some, sure. This guy could have been hopeless. Also spineless and self-centered. Maybe a misanthrope. Maybe humiliated or ashamed. Darren Criss's "powerful statement" is superficial and seems like a whitewash full of boilerplate spiritual and psychological blathering.

Parents who commit suicide are the most selfish people on earth.

Yeah, that’s when he lost me, R25.

LUCKY!

It's hard to think that leaving his small children wouldnt have stopped him from taking his life. But I guess if you've reached a certain point. I've been seriously depressed before but even at my lowest I could think of a reason or more to keep going. I guess people like him cant or couldn't do that. I never reached a breaking point like that though.

[quote]He should have pulled a Ricky Martin

Pics please.

[quote]It's hard to think that leaving his small children wouldnt have stopped him from taking his life.

Who really knows, though.

Not to speak ill of the dead, but what if he was a pedo or had those urges and couldn’t bear the thought of molesting his own kids?

Or some other horrific thoughts plaguing his brain and tormenting him towards acting upon them.

Perhaps he thought that leaving them and remaining alive elsewhere would have seemed more of a rejection than death.

Who knows what his specific struggle was and whether or not sticking around would have been better or worse for them?

When you are seriously contemplating suicide, you literally do not think at all about those you will leave behind.

Unless it is to think that they will be better off without you.
