Suicide

Geoff died of septicemia after being in a coma for 7 days. He apparently regained enough consciousness to squeeze his mother's hand and smile before passing away at the age of 35.

He committed suicide really. He was sick and he chose not to do anything about it. After seeing his girlfriend, Erin, emotionally wrecked, all I could think was "what a jerk he was." Suicide is something that is reserved for the unloved, the unmissed, or the terminally ill. Geoff was a fucker for throwing away a life that included love and caring and support from a strong, pretty, and smart girl no matter how much he messed up or how bad things were. I feel so sorry for Erin to have had to love a person like Geoff.
