People who seem to have it all can't handle when things go bad. Your suffering throughout the years has made you more resilient.

This young man seems to have everything well put together, but we never know a persons inner demons.

Perhaps all it took was one setback, covid which broke him. Or, perhaps his inner demons which we will never know about.

There is a very similar story about another teen football player who recently ctb in Maine by the name of Spencer Smith.

I know for a fact that isolation, particularly from the lockdown's has been detrimental to a lot of people's mental heath, especially people who are not used to stuff like this. Plus we don't really know behind the scenes of what was going on with him besides his history of depression. Maybe he no longer could take the pressure. All we can do is guess.

Everyone has his own demons. Being perfect is not as easy as it seems, and I'm well acquainted with that stress. This guy had depressive tendencies even before covid, as it's implied in the article I've read. And I fully believe that covid has exaggerated his emotional struggles.
