What was the cause of SHINee member Jonghyun’s death?

Jonghyun died by suicide, of monoxide poisoning. The late idol had also left a note for everyone who loved him and fans from across the globe mourned his loss. He had said in his note,

“I am broken from the inside. The depression that slowly gnawed away at me has finally swallowed me whole. And I could not defeat it. I detested myself. I grabbed my disjointed memories and yelled at them to pull themselves together but was met with no response. If I can’t help myself breathe properly it’s better to stop breathing at all.”

He added:

“The life of fame was never meant for me. That’s all the reason why it hurts. Because I’m famous. Why did I choose this? It’s so funny. It’s a wonder I lasted so long.”

Jonghyun ended the note with:

“What can I say? Just tell me I’ve done well. That this is good enough. That I’ve worked hard. Even if you can’t smile don’t fault me on my way. You did well, you worked hard. Goodbye.”
