  1. Austin did not have depression – he committed suicide after a long, drawn out series of emotional and psychological attacks from his ex wife and her legal team. His wife could not stand the thought of having her kids raised by an LGBT father and his partner, so she started a smear campaign to win favor in Utah courts. The constant day and night assault from her became too much of a burden to bear. I hope Austin has finally found peace.
