Artist Throughout history that have self-destructed

On the morning of March 28, 1941, Virginia wrote both her husband and her sister letters telling them how important they were to her. She then walked to the river near her house. Leaving her walking stick on the bank next to the river, she forced a huge rock into the pocket of her coat. Then she jumped into the ice cold river- her death (Bell 226). The only known reason of her suicide is that World War II was going on and this extremely disturbed her. It gave her a strange mental illness, and she began to hear voices. The voices told her to end her life so he did- by drowning herself.

There were many different reasons speculated about the cause of his death: Respiratory Illness Blood clots in his lung Punctured Lungs Alcoholism Heart Attacks (Riordan-Prochnicky 458)

It was later discovered that he was tormented by voices and was having hallucinations. Had he attempted to silence the voices by cutting off the offending organ? (Sweetman 294) Vincent van Gogh began having nervous attacks in 1888, and his doctor diagnosed him with having some sort of epilepsy. He then went back to painting (Sweetman 296). Vincent was fully conscious of his state, and after about four months he went to live at the asylum of St. Paul-de-Mausole. He left the asylum after a few months and returned to painting again. But the nervous attacks did not stop. Then in 1890 when he realized that his epileptic state was incurable, he committed suicide (Sweetman 303).

The cause of Jim Morrison's death remained unknown for years, but one day in the early 1980's, an unidentified source came forward and said: On the night of July 2, 1971, Pam called a very close friend of mine. She was all in tears and said that Jim had gotten into her heroin and overdosed. She didn't want that to come out, so she worked out a plan and covered it up.

1. Schizophrenia 2. He failed to harm Paul Gaugin so he turned the violence on himself? 3. He was just filled with self-loathing?

But the reason that many of his fans have found believable was the fact that he had re-entered his heroin habit that he had just recently overcome. This was so devastating to him that he just couldn't take it and took the easiest way out- suicide (Maples 7).
