I would imagine that there was more to it than just the break up with his girlfriend. You have to get to a really dark and low place to commit suicide. I would imagine he was already pretty low with either other things going on or depression and this tipped him over. Very sad for his family and his ex girlfriend with have a lifetime of guilt to contend with.
I think anyone that kills themselves aren't in the right frame of mind to make rational decisions so it's a bit harsh to call them selfish. It's just a shame these days that grown men can't discuss their feelings with others without being viewed as "acting gay" or "acting like a woman". Maybe if there wasn't a macho image people aren't supposed to portray then there might not be so many suicides.
