StellaFor almost everybody it's always difficult to face death...
Well,I see death in another way. This poor man killed himself...and this is very different from the real time of death.
I will not enter in religious - for me - aspects of what he did.
But I believe that this - dealing with suicide - was one part of his karma. He failed.
We all have to leave this planet one day...when we'll be ready,when we had acomplish our mission.
I'm not affraid of death, in fact, I believe that when we die,we go back home. But as we are here, we have to make our best. If you are following your path,it's because you are ready to do it.
In this planet,we have 6 billion people,how much are searching for their path ?
You're right,we have to live,enjoy life,enjoy every minute of our day - I do that - but also, we must know that we have to develop not only our talents as a human being,but we have to develop our soul...
Buddha teach us the Middle Path,-If it stretches too much the rope tears, if leaves too free, it doesn't play.The path for enlightment is the middle way.
I think this is what we have to do: Follow the midle way...not to much,not to little 
Take care dear
