This article is about your average family man named Christopher Ringwald (age 55) who most likely took his own life by a three-story fall in a parking garage. Christopher was a very successful man who was "a well-known Capital Region journalist and author". This article in particular caught my attention because Christopher had three children and a wife. It surprises me that a man with a wife and family would do something so terrible." '...above all he loved his own family'...said Kevin Doyle, a lifelong friend". I do not understand the fact that a man with a seemingly happy life could be so depressed and feel so awful that they felt the need to take their life.
I was touched by this article because I have parents and family that truly cares about me. The thought of them jumping off a three-story building and dying is terrifying. I have sympathy for Christopher's three children because my dad means the world to me, and i cannot imagine him dying so unexpectedly. This article is very emotional and moving, therefor i am left pondering few questions:
What kind of relationship did Christopher have with his wife and Children?
What caused the depression Christopher had?
Was Christopher being treated for his depression?
Why would Christopher's family want to reveal their father and husbands suicide to the public?
