I won't comment on the absurdity of someone committing suicide over a tv show". Congrats you did with that comment. Perhaps he was suicidal before BSG was on the air, and maybe it was what stopped him from harming himself earlier. I doubt they named the character after the boy. Even if they did, I would say it would have been a tribute to a fan. However I doubt it, as I think there would have been some message to ask for help. Jog on now, and write something actually relevant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169569468495751590noreply@blogger.com
