I agree this is a sad story. But I am not against gambling. For some gambling is an addiction. And like many other addictions, they are very dangerous. But I would hold the person with the addiction somewhat responsible for there actions. I mean they weren't always addicted. They let it get to the point that it was so bad that they couldn't stop themselves or even see that there is any wrong.

I get lottery tickets every now and then. I haven't made a trip out to a casino yet.

It's a problem when it gets into the head,something as to be done as quickly as possible.However,going to the extent of killing himself is awful and not the solution at all.
