Alice and Chains

I realize a few of you out there enjoy their music(david99 and a few others) this just in:
SEATTLE, Washington (CNN) -- King County authorities said a body found in a Seattle residence has been identified as that of Layne Staley, 34, lead singer of the rock group Alice in Chains.
The partially decomposed body was found Friday in Staley's home in the city's University District, King County Sheriff's Sgt. Cameron Webster said.
Investigators performed an autopsy to identify Staley, said Monty Nelson, an official with the medical examiner's office.
He said the cause and manner of death will be determined after more investigation.
Alice in Chains formed in 1987 and was prominent in Seattle's music scene, which included "grunge rock" groups such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
Fans in Seattle and Boston were organizing candlelight vigils and memorial ceremonies to pay tribute to Staley, according to postings on the band's Web site

Another sad day for rock fans.

Very sad. I thought he had a great voice.

Actually, no studies I have seen (more than a few) show that faith itself correlates with depression. I am a psych major writing a thesis with a small part pertaining to the correlation between affiliation and depression, so i run in to religion/depression reseach a lot.

I don't think it is very appropriate to discuss this much further, so all i will add is that there was not any misunderstanding on my part. Nothing your second post added was new to me. I was not taking on all aspects of your point, just the one that pertains to others ('you') and the absolute ('will'), i.e. not 'possibly'. Layne seemed conflicted in many ways, 'others' may be less so, if at all.
