    Damn damn damn, very sad indeed. I think it was indeed one of the twins as he was named DeAndre while his other sons' names are DeShaun and Roy III. Rip young man

    They were obviously signs beforehand, but I'd guess they just thought he was going through a rough phase and that it was nothing too serious. As the saying say, hindsight is 20/20 but I don't think it's reasonable to expect an untrained person to see it coming as you stated it.

    I think a man .. not some emotional woman.... a man who is over 25 who exhibits any signs of depression should be looked at and investigating by their close ones... they should know it's not something that's easily talked about and instead of waiting show some incentive and go dig it out of them.... i don't know the ins and outs of this specific incident and am just talking in general

    Knowing ZERO Details of the Situation, REED Will Confidently Guess the Living Twin Knew or Literally FELT Something...REED has Twin Grandsons and Even as Infants Their Connection is Uncanny...

    I dont know what RJ son was up to, but being the son of a legend is probably very difficult, especially if you only achieve a ''regular'' life

    Wow that's terrible. Thoughts are with Roy, hopefully he didn't put pressure on the boy like his own father did to him.

    The Twins Formed an Unsuccessful R & B Group...A Lot of WHY Roy Continued to Fight as Loooooong as he Did was Due to FAILED Investments in His Sons' Group and His Own Record Label...

    So to Your Point - Son of a Legend, Failed R & B Career and On to a "Regular" Life...Ultimately, There's Honor in at Least TRYING, Even in Failure...Which Makes it Sad Roy's Kid DIDN'T Get to That Point of Maturity or Acceptance w/HIMSELF...

    Suicide - a PERMANENT Solution to a TEMPORARY Problem...

    I've seen and heard that quote before. RIP to this young man, and my condolences to Roy and his family for their loss. It must be incredibly difficult for a devoted father to accept a son's suicide.

    Heart goes out to Roy and the family. Suicide is one of man's greatest tragedies.
