It's always shocking to hear someone you knew and liked died even if you weren't super close with them.

Thanks guys.
That really sucks, Francis. You've still got a history with someone, even if you haven't seen them in a decade or two. I get why that feels bad. A guy I knew as a kid died in a motorcycle crash years ago. I found out a couple years after, heard as a mere aside in a casual conversation. I was like "I'm sorry, what did you just say? Could you repeat that?" Bummer.
From what second-hand experience I have, it always seems like suicide cases hit people extra hard. Probably because it feels like it could and should have been avoided somehow.
Just another good reason not to do it. You're really going to hurt people - even one's you wrongly imagined wouldn't care much.
