Why We Do It
On Tuesday, February 1, 2000 at 5:35 a.m. Todd Thomas took his own life by jumping from the 14th floor of the New York Plaza Hotel.
Todd was a young artist whose short journey in life ended tragically. He was a beautiful, gifted, spiritual young man who lived a life of conflict. Todd had a severe sleeping disorder and over the years was diagnosed as manic-depressive, bi-polar, chemically imbalanced, and even schizophrenic. The truth is, Todd's illness was never accurately diagnosed. He took an assortment of pills until each prescription became ineffective. In his anguish, Todd lost hope and took his own life.
