I didn't say that at all, but you do love a strawman don't you.
> Aaron Schwarz taking his own life instead of facing a maximum of 6 months in prison is completely normal.
Plea bargain of 6 months + felony charge was turned down.
He was facing ~35 years + felony charge. But don't let the facts stop your rightousness ;-)
> It's unfortunate we don't have any data whatsoever to disprove that...

You'll note that: Hopelessness, loss of pleasure, depression and anxiousness all increase the likelihood of suicide. It's pretty reasonable for us to assume Aaron was feeling at least one of those. Again, lets not let fact or data get in the way of your "informed" opinion.
