Great tribute, shame I didn't know him.. Thank you for showing a good person at his best. (of course, going by reputation on the good person part...but it seems like he was.)
I may not have agreed with everything he said, but william was indeed a brilliant young man. It's just sad he didnt seek the help he needed and ended his life.
I hate this. If he's in a place where he can be openly gay and still be depressed enough to take his own life then what does that say 4 me, a gay Saudi. I've been depressed 4 a long time now and i'm only 23 years old, still a LONG time left, now i'm not gonna kill my self, because the secret and the lonelinesss will. :-(
@adudeksa Being poisoned by a non-nurturing society sucks the life out of an individual . There is little regard for one another, and without we lose a degree of our own happiness . It seems everyone is suffering to some extent ..
An awful lot of depressed people don't show signs of depression. They try to hide their true feelings and put up a mask. They can even seem really happy or a joyful person, unless you are attentive or catch them when they slip or let out an ambigous cry for help. Some of them don't want to trouble others with their problems, or don't think others could be any help or are just ashamed of their true self.
I hadn't seen any videos by this guy but I've checked around and he seemed like a smart young man. It's a great shame he couldn't see a way forward with his life.
Didn't know him well, but I went to a blogtv with him once, and it was just four or five of us. We talked about music (I sing and play guitar, and am Canadian). Sucks that he didn't, or couldn't stick around longer. He will definitely be missed.
I'm sick and tired of people equating depression, which is a fucking mental condition and thus a disease, with the emotions you feel when your bummed out. They are not the same thing people.
I support the right to die and it's sad he had to out the long way he did, but I'm glad his decision to die, although not as fast as he would of wished it, was fulfilled and didn't end up suffering consciousness once again.
Damn. The deepest, most important sentiments we feel can't be expressed because words diminish them. All I can do is wipe away another tear and fave this tribute to one of our brightest stars that burned out too soon.
I'm battling serious depression. Here in the US, the "answer" is one of the myriad happy tabs in the TV adverts. Mental illness is stigmatized and help minimal, even for those with insurance. Thus, this cancer of the spirit insidiously cripples and kills thousands.
It's sad that William died. I hate when interesting people are no longer with us and a big void is left. More still... I wish that William could have seen some light at the end of the tunnel. Such a waste.
@arsenelupin123 he said "Fuck the beatles" it was from his song entitled "Fuck the Beatles"......but I am sure Will would of said fuck the pedos aswell
@VoxNeruda Did you know that it wasn't until the 4th century that St. Augustine declared suicide to be a sin in christianity? Did you know that he did so because large numbers of christians were choosing suicide rather than living a life of persecution? Of course you didnt. You just thought it is a sin, and always has been, just like your pastor/preacher/minister told you. Why bother checking your information when it's so easy just to regurgitate what you're told, right?
@blechhh666 Ah, I was not aware that christianity had achieved the borg-like collectiveness of consciousness allowing one of you to speak for all of you with a single "we". I'll keep this in mind in the future, censorious prig out.
I am never able to grasp suicide. Unless you are in constant horrible pain why not just sit it out? If you could only listen to 1 song in your life wouldn't you rather listen to it till the end even if it is a horrible song? Its just that the world is so large, there are so many options even if you think you have none.
@Hjernespreng I don't know, I have experienced a couple of very bad depressions but never did I feel the need to actually kill myself. I have felt the need to just leave everything behind and go somewhere else but never to kill myself, I never considered it to be a logic choice. But like I said, I just can't grasp it, I am not saying anything bad about people who do it.
@philateliceun Be happy, I guess, if you've never been there. I don't think there is that much difference between physical pain and emotional pain. I could imagine that if it goes on long enough you would just want to give up. I think some people are naturally happy and some are naturally depressed. There are wonderful days in our lives, past and future. We have to hold onto these. And wonderful people as well. I'm sorry I didn't get to know William.
@philateliceun I agree with you, I always think that no matter how depressed a person might get for whatever reason there is always someone else in the world who has it 100 times worse and still living, if they can make it so can everyone else. Suicide is never the answer.
@0Idskool Indeed, just look at parts of Africa, growing up there must be one of the most horrific and pointless ways to exist but still many get through it. I just want to add that I believe this, I don't want to judge others about their choice. I believe it would be a waste if I took my life over a depression but I will not say that about other people cause I don't know what they experience. I can not grasp why anyone would take their life over a depression but that just might be my ignorance.
@philateliceun Just because people go through worse shit in their lives doesn't mean they're depressed. Depression can attack people you would never suspect. People with what you would call perfect lives. Depression is a disease, not a conscious choice.
@EvilnessAkaDani Its a disease but its still a mental disease, you can do things to make it better. Many times people feel hopelessness, guilt or self hatred because of a false perception of themselves or the world around them. Its not like cancer for example where there is a physical process in your body that slowly destroys your physical being. I am not trying to talk lightly about depression but I really feel like these people could have made it through with proper guidance.
There's not always ways to make it better and it is very much like a physical illness, in fact it's harder to deal with. It rots you from the inside and there's no one treatment to fix it. Sometimes you can take medication that helps, but for some people it doesn't work.
@EvilnessAkaDani I agree with you that help doesn't always work but I can not agree with you that it is harder to deal with then a physical illness. I have seen relatives die of lung and gut cancer, seeing how my uncle had to take 15 different kinds of medication to just prolong his suffering for a couple of months while he was coughing up blood and couldn't breath because his tumor nearly blocked his entire left lung and with no single way of getting out I simply can not agree on that
@EvilnessAkaDani Even if you have the worst depression ever to be experienced by any human you have the choice to keep existing, with cancer or other fatal physical deseases you have no choice, you will suffer and die.
I've seen people die of both diseases and survive both. My grandpa survived Cancer because treatment worked for him, my uncle however did not. I have friends that have committed suicide due to depression, and some that haven't. It's a disease all the same and treatment will not always work. It's NOT a conscious decision.
@philateliceun Saying someone that has depression always has a conscious choice whether or not to kill themselves is like saying a schizophrenic has a choice to hear voices in their head or not.
@EvilnessAkaDani This going to be my last word about this because I don't want to argue too much under a tribute video out of respect. Diseases are conditions, suicides are actions. Its not a nice thought but the reality is people decide to end their life, thats in my opinion the worst part about it. THey had a choice and they made the one of ending their life because of whatever reason. We shouldn't try to portray it as some disease which they have no control cause they have.
@philateliceun Lol um yeah if people had "control" over depression I would think they probably wouldn't commit suicide moron. You don't know the man nor what he went through on a day to day basis or all of his life. So how the fuck can you talk when you have NEVER walked in HIS shoes???
@EvilnessAkaDani And really, I cannot emphasize enough how I am not trying to judge other people on their suicides. I am not saying people are weak or that they are stupid or naive or had no reason to. All I can say is that I would find it a waste if I would take my own life over a depression. How depressed I might be I still have options, I live in a safe and good country, there are lots of good people in this world and a lot of ways to live life.
@philateliceun But to people suffering from suicidal thoughts, all they see are no options, that they live in an unsafe and shitty environment with lots of horrible people who want to hurt them further, and a lot of ways to die.
Even people who know they have people that love and care for them kills themselves, because depression can completely destroy you from inside.
@0Idskool @philateliceun You forget that every person is an individual, and regardless of whether problems seem bigger or smaller does not matter to those who have depression or suffering from suicidal tendancies. Everyone is different, and saying their problems aren't as big so they don't matter is the worst thing to do. Ever. "Nothing cuts deeper to someone with depression, than when their serious condition is trivialized by another who doesn’t understand it." - from findingoptimism
@NikiPaprika I respect your opinion but I can't agree with it, yes we are individuals but I'm sorry I don't think any problem no matter how big deserves taking your own life over, this is LIFE, and there are always, ALWAYS options, always a way out besides killing yourself. We are individuals and we're all human beings, if you can make it so can I, if you can survive, so can I.
This just makes me angry at Canada's mental health (back seat) bullshit!
I too am suffering depression, and am unable to receive the care I need because our current government is forcing further austerity on people like William, myself and many others. My fear is that we'll be seeing more people ending their experiences. The pressure's on, and it's only begun.
I hope he slept through it all, and had no regrets. :(
I remember watching, and liking, a few videos from this guy, as well as a number of clips of him in other peoples' responses to him. In finding out he passed away I wish I had followed his stuff more closely.
I never got the chance to get to know William but I loved watching him and what he had to say. I have many friends here whom were friends with him. And my thoughts go out to all of them, his RL friends and family at this time. From all I am hearing this was by all counts a wonderful person and he will be missed deeply.
I didn't know William terribly well, but we had talked before on blogtv, and I was subscribed to him for awhile. It's too bad that whatever was eating at him was so painful that he chose to end his life. *:-(
Hey, Coughlan, I'm the guy who uploaded the video. I accidentally turned comments off. XD, anyone who wants to comment on the original video, go ahead. That aside, I think you mirroring this video is great and I think we all miss Will very much, thanks for getting this video out there so we can all share fond memories.
oh man, that is the william... bummer, he was cool, I knew him from stickam though I was subscribed. He was interesting to have a conversation with. Very intelligent. Opinionated but understanding imo.
@rozeboosje told me about this a few hours ago and like you i didn't know the guy. when he told me that it was suicide all i could think of is i wished the guy could have got some help... what do ya say...? ? It's sad.
@CiphersSon - He had been being treated in hospital, which he'd checked himself into when he felt he couldn't handle it on his own any more. He'd been getting help for the last three months, gotten out, then gone back. Then this ...
Its a bloody shame. I spoke to william many times on stickcam he was the ultimate gentleman, clever, and funny i shal miss him loads. Xxx Nice vid dick. Xxx
Thanks for this video. William was a friend of mine with whom I had many late night conversations, on every subject from religion and philosophy to comic books and music. Always a good guy, always a good heart, even despite his unhealthy obsession with hating the Beatles. He will always be loved and missed! RIP William, may you have found the peace in death that eluded you in life.
Seems to be two camps concerning Mr.Cardno, those that like him and those that apparently knew things he was doing that others did not, and don't. Well, they say you should never speak ill of the dead, but the dead don't give a shit.
@djlegacy96 I don't follow? If you are asking how could he have used his liver and kidneys to help sick people if he committed suicide, there is no reason why he couldn't have donated his organs in the event of his death. Even if it was a drug overdose (which I don't know if it was) you would still be able to use the organs.
@djlegacy96 There is a certain amount of time that is allowed to pass before they become unusable, anddepending on how he went would allow more time. I don't know specific details of how he died, but I know for certain it was suicide...
@djlegacy96 - If it's close enough to the time of death they can sometimes go straight to the operating room, or sometimes resuscitate the body (though the person is vegetative and since the brain is dead, will fully die again shortly).
In Cardno's case, it was either the latter, or that he was still breathing when they found him. But his mind was already gone either way- they did scans/tests to confirm, and then set a 'plug-pull' time with his parents.
:0 I think I may have talked to him on stickam. nice guy if I'm thinking of the right guy.

Hey, Coughlan, I'm the guy who uploaded the video. I accidentally turned comments off. XD, anyone who wants to comment on the original video, go ahead. That aside, I think you mirroring this video is great and I think we all miss Will very much, thanks for getting this video out there so we can all share fond memories.

@CiphersSon - He had been being treated in hospital, which he'd checked himself into when he felt he couldn't handle it on his own any more. He'd been getting help for the last three months, gotten out, then gone back. Then this ...

Thanks for this video. William was a friend of mine with whom I had many late night conversations, on every subject from religion and philosophy to comic books and music. Always a good guy, always a good heart, even despite his unhealthy obsession with hating the Beatles. He will always be loved and missed! RIP William, may you have found the peace in death that eluded you in life.

Seems to be two camps concerning Mr.Cardno, those that like him and those that apparently knew things he was doing that others did not, and don't. Well, they say you should never speak ill of the dead, but the dead don't give a shit.

His twitter account seems to have a goodbye message:
"I want everyone to know that I love them. These 27 years were truly made better by all of you. :)"
Shit...so it was suicide? Fuck, if only someone had reached him in time...
LynxChan 2 months ago
@LynxChan - I think most people didn't realize the possible dual nature of that message, because the day he posted it on, was his birthday.
But he spoke to people who told him they loved him, and told him to hang in there, even the day of.

"his Liver and Kidneys were used to hel 3 sick people"
how could he have done that?
djlegacy96 2 months ago
@djlegacy96 I don't follow? If you are asking how could he have used his liver and kidneys to help sick people if he committed suicide, there is no reason why he couldn't have donated his organs in the event of his death. Even if it was a drug overdose (which I don't know if it was) you would still be able to use the organs.
CappitranoBellephant 2 months ago
@CappitranoBellephant
i thought organs have to be taken when
the persons body is still alive
djlegacy96 2 months ago
@djlegacy96 There is a certain amount of time that is allowed to pass before they become unusable, anddepending on how he went would allow more time. I don't know specific details of how he died, but I know for certain it was suicide...
CappitranoBellephant 2 months ago
@CappitranoBellephant - Yes, exactly.
It also depends on the organ too - some organs die slower than others. (Though to be honest, I don't know in which order they go)
And as to your other post, no it wasn't a drug overdose.
PurpleGhost 2 months ago
@djlegacy96 - If it's close enough to the time of death they can sometimes go straight to the operating room, or sometimes resuscitate the body (though the person is vegetative and since the brain is dead, will fully die again shortly).
In Cardno's case, it was either the latter, or that he was still breathing when they found him. But his mind was already gone either way- they did scans/tests to confirm, and then set a 'plug-pull' time with his parents.
