Jason David Frank took his own life three years ago today. He played Tommy Oliver, the most iconic Power Ranger and a childhood hero to countless people, including myself. He had openly discussed suicide and depression, publicly stating that suicide was a cowardly way out while admitting it was a constant battle for himself. Why do you think people resort to suicide? And why does it seem to affect white men more than any other race? Robin Williams, Heath Ledger, Kurt Cobain are a few celebrities that come to mind.

Rest in power 💚

He was also very sweet and genuine and a pleasure to talk to.

You met him?

I haven't personally. I should've been clearer. He was in our town for a movie or a comic convention and he was at restaurants and bars around town where we have friends working. He also went to an addiction clinic another friend worked at to talk to some of the people there and encourage them.

That is awesome. So sad that he is gone.

Sorry to hear.

It is probably just disruption in the health of the body for a reason beyond my comprehension.

If I put my cultural critique hat on it is that white men know deep down that their personal lives are nobodies fault but theirs alone. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Or anomalies like this are just the norm. Everything and everybody is a statistic.

Or maybe just weak.

You get the point.

Heath Ledger was suicide?!

When life becomes all pain and no gain, for years. Nothing is rewarding. It becomes a calculation. The pain and consequences of suicide become small in comparison to the years of internal suffering and hopelessness.

But what was so painful about his life?
