RIP - Mark Priestley

This is horribly sad news. News.com.au reports this morning that "All Saints" actor Mark Priestly has died. It is believed that the actor has committed suicide.

"The much-loved actor, 32, who played doctor Dan Goldman, is believed to have killed himself while suffering depression."

There aren't many details at the moment, but this is one of the saddest things I have heard. I've lost a couple of friends to suicide over the years, and it really breaks my heart to hear of another young person take their own life.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.
If you or someone you know may be at risk of suicide, contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or seek immediate help from a GP or a counsellor.
