He was a handsome, intelligent, well liked guy, but what was going on inside his head was very different from what he appeared to be, from the outside. It seems senseless that such young people can have become so miserable and unhappy with themselves so early in life that they need to turn to drugs to escape their inability to reconcile who they are with who others want them to be.
Though you will probably not understand this statement, I'll write it anyway: your friend was lucky to have such a caring person as yourself in his life; that he made the choice he did is not a reflection on you at all; true friends are honest with each other but understand the other's need to make decisions that may not always please us.
