Very tragic news. If only this could have been prevented. There is a lot of effert going into teen depression and teen suicide, maybe we just need more of it.... After things like this it always makes u wonder if anything could have been done to change what has happened. These kids have so much pressure on them these days they don't get to enjoy being a kid. My thoughts and prayers are with his friends,family,team,and school. Such a sad story........ And please everyone be respectful when talking about this. Put yourself on the other side of this bc the ppl that can relate to this know how bad it hurts and it will make u second guess everything u have done as a parent,friend,brother, sister etc.

This is so true. I faced this with a sibling. We had found out a few year before, she had been abused by a female baby sitter. I have seen in threads folks saying it is so selfish to take your life ect. I am not saying it is a good thing but ignorant comments are just that. You never know what frame of mind someone is in when they act in a moment such as this. It was something as a child my sibling had to deal with by herself. It was 10 years later we found out about it. Two years after that, it was more than could be handled. Please just say nothing if you have nothing good to say.

I hate when ppl say negative things about the ppl that take their own life,like the cowards way out and all that other bs. No one really knows what some one has went through in their life. It's just a sad situation for all the people involved.

Best player I've ever played with on the diamond. Been friends our whole lives and he was such a good, happy go lucky kid.

It's hard to believe that it's the 2nd time in 2 1/2 years that it's happened here..just such a sad situation especially seeing his mom yesterday at the funeral home..absolutely terrible.

Do ppl even look to see if something's already been posted before they make a thread?

I was following this news - they moved the other thread to of all places the Pub, when it should be here -- and good gosh how many Fulmer threads still get started every day ?

I live in IL and following the story any way I can - read about the funeral - real sad - praying these things get more attention so they can be prevented --- best way now, is to keep bringing up stories like this one and watch for any warning signs no matter how small it is.

Excuse someone for taking up your precious time. Freaking jerk! I coached this kid and the family and community are completely devastated, his brother played at Tennessee and the only thing you do is ***** about it.

You guys act like the guy said good riddance or something. Was it a little disrespectful? Yeah - but calm down - he didn't say anything bad about the kid or the sad situation.

Guys, stop it. AC didn't mean anything bad from it. Sure it was harsh, but no need to freak out.

Prayers for the family.
