There has been a long push in Oregon to make shrooms legal for treatment of depression. In many cases, it has been successful. Apparently not in this case.

The fact that he took them two days before seems to make it unlikely to play a role in his actions. I do feel sorry for him. Sounds like he's really struggling.

But killing a plane load of people is not the answer to one person's depression.
