not waving but drowning

I thought this was a very cool. It seemed like the individual had been asking for help for a while from someone or a group of people but never got the help or answers that he needed. And eventually because of this he died. After he died the people that could have helped him made up excuses why they didnt help out and in a way tried to blame they death on him. This was interesting to read because to me this type of situation happens all the time. For instance when someone dies on a drug overdose people doon't consider it a great loss because its just another druggie off the streets but those people never take in account what happened in thier life to make them start using the drugs.
