PATRICK SHAI

The veteran actor ended his life in January and was found hanging by his wife, Mmasechaba, in their Dobsonville home. Patrick’s death came days after he was cruelly criticized by Twitter trolls. This, in response to a video of him challenging rapper Cassper Nyovest to a boxing match.

According to close friend Thabang Sefotho, Shai confided in him about the mental anguish he was experiencing during his final days.

Thabang said during a Radio 702 interview: “I called him and he was so apologetic. He broke down, he literally cried on the phone, he was very emotional.

“His last words to me were: ‘I’ve tried to reach out to Cassper and the family, I’m speaking to the management but this character assassination on social media is really breaking me’.”

CHESLIE KRYST

The former Miss USA ended her life after she jumped off the 29th floor of a New York high rise building.

While the 30-year-old Cheslie Kryst reportedly left a suicide note in which she instructed all her possessions to be left to her mother, she did not reveal a motive.

Cheslie’s father, Rodney Kryst, hinted that depression may have played a role in her death. He said in an interview to New York Post: “I think it had a lot to do with family dysfunction, but it will be awhile before we can talk more. She was sad.”
