Did anyone else read Peter Garrison's article about pilot suicides in this

It really makes you wonder if some of those "inexplicable" accidents we talk
about here -- you know, the ones where the normally safe and solid pilot
flies off into horrible weather, or flies a plane with a known mechanical
problem -- aren't really suicides?

Haven't seen it, but that possibility goes through your mind, hearing of
some accidents. A few days ago, a new private pilot near the end of the
runway at an uncontrolled airport got out of his airplane with the
engine running and walked into the propeller. No explanation has been
determined (and maybe never will be), and perhaps it was something like
removing chocks ... but you do wonder ...
