I'm also sorry for your personal experience with your friend. That is so difficult. I think many people may not realize how traumatizing suicide is for everyone touched by it. I hope you're ok.

Even the grief board would seem more appropriate after a death was verified and if the poster had previously expressed a wish that the board be notified.

I felt manipulated myself after reading online his "professional" presentation about how he handles death on his online board. I hope these latest tragedies don't turn up in his next "professional" presentation.
You are a valuable member of this community. I'm sorry if this is causing pain to you.
