I saw this announcement on the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of San Francisco's website . Announcement Regarding Scott Nevins’ Death Dearly Beloved,
It is my paternal obligation to inform you of a tragic event that has occurred within the boundaries of our Holy Metropolis. A young man who had come to our Faith and became a novice at the Holy Monastery of St. Anthony the Great, and subsequently left the Monastery for unknown reasons last year, took his life last Monday morning at approximately 2:45 a.m. Scott Nevins, 27 years old, had spent six years at St. Anthony’s. Last year, after leaving the monastery he enrolled in a college in Oregon. In the early hours of last Monday morning, Scott took his life in an area near the monastery.
The proper authorities are investigating this incident and we will cooperate in every way necessary. In addition, the Metropolis is conducting an investigation into this matter.
On behalf of the Holy Metropolis of San Francisco we wish to extend our prayers and love to the Nevins family. May Christ Jesus, our Lord, God and Savior look with mercy upon the soul of his departed servant. Eternal be his memory!
With Love in Christ,
+ G E R A S I M O S
Metropolitan of San Francisco Prayers for Scott and his family

I, from personal experience, can understand what the family is feeling. May the Lord have great mercy on his soul and hold in His Hands those family members who are left to try to understand. We here have not yet done so.
Lord have mercy.

May the Lord grant mercy to this young man and lead his soul to rest in a place where there is neither weeping nor sighing, neither pain nor suffering, but only eternal rest.
May his memory be eternal and may his family be comforted by God.

How tragic and ghastly. Among other things it's a reminder of the importance of prayer for people tempted to suicide. There are more such people than one might think.
Arranging for a Divine Liturgy to be offered for his soul is yet another way for us to respond to his death.
