I too saw the thread on the pssd forum, is it true?
Really sad news indeed, may he rest in peace
Ouch. I did not know such forums exist. I really thought propeciahelp was the bottom in terms of hopelessness, it is not even closeR.I.P. zadig
I looked him up on Google and he was active on this suicide forum and talked about suicide quite a bit on other websites:

This is the biggest risk with young guys (he was 20/21 I think?). They don't see the big picture IMO. They think it is all over and get into a downswing that they cannot get out of.
I think the Internet can also influence guys like this for the worse. He was obviously frustrated and down - you saw it the way he talked to people on this forum. In beginning of PFS I was the same. I attacked people constantly and felt like dogshit 24/7. It was because I felt like shit and you want to vent your frustration on random people. It is not good but it is what it is. Then he is on forums like that suicide forum and sometimes these PFS/PSSD forums can also be a cesspool of negativity.
In the end you cannot hold the hands of these guys. We are not close to each other and don't know each other IRL. You can't know if someone is about to jump off a building. These forums are self help. You have to want to help yourself and not give up. I think the younger you are the harder it is to see that.
Zadig passed away today from suicide, it's very sad news. He always said he was desperate but from our private messages he always had a sense of humour. I didn't believe he would ever choose this option. Rest in peace zadig

I was hit by PFS when I was 22 years old and I'm still here.
I remember I was very close to suicide in a couple of situation from jumping down from the window but something let me go back inside.
I can understand that dude, I spoke by phone with him just 3minths ago and he told me he was a PSSD guy...
I told him to wait and give time but I guess in this battle only the strongest survive.
It is true, the people who are verifying it are credible, he himself wouldn't fake it.
We let him down in a massive way, I thought he was just a stubborn cheeky sod who enjoyed pissing off us mods in the PSSD forum, I temporarily banned him for bullying and he got permanently banned later on I think for repeatedly talking about irreversible brain damage. I am glad we have made the forum a more positive place but this is very fucked up. It's so easy to forget that there are potentially very vulnerable humans behind the username day to day. RIP zadig
agree he did not seem like a guy who would actually do something like this. He was not even taking anything for the PSSD, he just talked about it , all different methods, but never took anything. so it is weird that he would follow thru with this. Still feels like a joke
Yes but he was also a hothead and a stubborn motherfucker, so seeing that other fucked up forum that he was visiting it makes some sense, if I had found that place when I was 19 it could have been different. Like Rebel said it is the young guys early on in the process who are vulnerable, there was another young guy who did it last year too.

Nobody let him down man. You guys tried with him and sure people joked with him. He seemed like a troll at times. Kind of like the guy who eats a ton of bad food on the discord lol.
I just don’t get why he wouldn’t look at someone like you or me @raven . I get it, nutritional balancing is new and a process. But look at all the evidence of gut/pathogen stories. And he never even considered giving that a shot.
He didn’t give himself a chance. He got screwed with his situation/age, but he had a chance that he never gave himself and that’s what really sucks.
