Adding alcohol and/or drugs to the mix can certainly exasperate the situation. There also seems to be some key information missing also. It's just sad and unnecessary.
I totally relate to you, here. I was diagnosed before the term "bipolar" was invented and they called it "manic depressive". When the suicidal thoughts creep up, they don't easily disappear. I am a divorcee, because of my condition. It takes some serious balls to remove yourself from life. To me, it is certainly not a cowardly act.

It is seriously sad, either way. May they rest in peace.
