KS should not feel bad.
The person responsible for JA’s death is JA. The person responsible for the events thar led to JA’s death is JA.
JA was not a private person whose private life was snooped into by the press.
He is was a man who deliberately chose to market his (invented) private life and personal story to create a very lucrative career as a professor in one of the world’s most prestigious universities, and to create a second career alongside as a media personality, including an autobiographical book deal. You cannot do this and then cry foul when the stories you have chosen to put in the media are investigated by the media.
Yet he did. Instead of owning up to his fantasies he chose instead to try to use his ‘identities as a shield’ ( my autism made me plagerise! It’s because you are racist! ) which rather throws other people with these identities under a bus. Then he chose to bully and intimidate those revealing the truth with legal threats whilst creating even dafter lies to try to cover his original lies. All of these choices he made kept his story in the papers.
JA is not the victim here, he is the perpetrator who created everything that happened to him. He chose his death too and in doing so he escaped his own pain and bequeathed it to his children and family instead.
He was a coward in life, too scared to live a life achieved on his own merits and too cowardly to face reality replacing his fantasy at the end. Bereaving his children to avoid accountability for his own choices and actions was the ultimate act of egotistical cowardice. I am reminded of Joey Essex’s comments on his Mother’s suicide when he was a child, ‘Mum escaped her pain but what about me?’
