He had to be in a bad state of mind to find his way into such a secluded location. This was at the height of the pandemic. Many people were mentally distressed. Too bad he didn't find help in time.

I know of a few who have ended their own lives, all went somewhere desolate. Must be part of the process. Wanting no interference.
