According to several reports, budding actor Jay Bowdy took his own life during a Facebook Live stream.

In the livestream, Bowdy spoke about having his first child at age 18 and getting married at 25. He had two children from previous relationships and four with his wife.

We don’t yet know what prompted him to turn to suicide, but a woman named Ruthlyn wrote a letter to her departed friend to announce his loss.

“I feel like I have failed you as a friend and for that I am truly sorry. In the time we spent together, there were some true heart to hearts,” she wrote.

She then went on, “I’m not one to express much, but I feel the need to because my heart is so heavy.  My open letter to you. Though I haven’t known you long, we built a relationship that was strong. I’m sitting here looking through our last text messages and trying to figure out where I went wrong, what I missed, what I could have done differently to have been there for you in your time of need.”

“I will try to remember the good times we spent together and I will always remember our laughs and your smile.  I pray that you are resting peacefully.  I’m sorry I wasn’t there. The last text you sent to me was, “Be great friend” and I promise you that I will… for you and for me.”

Just me being me and staying ready for all the challenges. #ActorsLife #NotOffDay #hustler #EatorGetAte
