(6,159 posts)That is devastating news. I loved him on So you think you can Dance.
Great talent but what really made him special is the joyous energy he expressed when he danced.
I don't remember being this upset about a suicide since Robin Williams.
It seemed so out of character since he seemed so positive and happy. It just goes to show how insidious suicide and depression can be.
Thoughts to his family. I can't imagine what they are going through.

What a waste and a travesty.
