This is sad—let it go at that. You are correct–his pain is done—the real pain will now be with his friends and family. Trust me that is not my opinion but a fact based on my PERSONAL expeirience.

As editor, I’m going to go out on a limb here: I think his name is likely Kenneth Daniel Mazze, 27 years of age. Though I must point out we have yet to officially confirm this.

According to my contact at the U.S. Embassy his last name was Mazze.

What it was, his pain is now over & he is at peace! (sad for those that witnessed/were part of it though).

I agree that someone set on killing themselves will find a way to do it. However, I cannot believe that witnesses saw four or five attempts, and no one was able to stop him.

If someone is set on killing themselves, they will do it. You don’t know that people didn’t try to intervene.

Motive: He didn’t want to live.

At least four times?! Really?! And, no one intervened?! Wow! Maybe that underscores what is wrong with Costa Rica.
