I was shocked upon reading the news this morning: Alexander McQueen found dead, the result of an apparent suicide. This gifted man was a mere 40 years old. It's so sad, and even more tragic were the circumstances through which he left us.
Reports are saying that his mother died a few days ago, which may be the reason for his angst. The Daily Mail so far seems to have the best article describing the turn of events taking place in McQueen's native England.
Today his second line, McQ, was to be presented at New York Fashion Week. The show has understandably been cancelled.

So, so tragic. :( Suicide has such far reaching effects and is always all the more difficult for loved ones to understand. You did an excellent job concluding this post.
