E! reports Late actor Lee Thompson committed suicide due to praticising 'Yoruba'


This people must be smoking something, can someone please tell them Yoruba is a tribe and not a religion, according to E!, the 29 year old actor started suffering from depression after he converted to Yoruba.
Here is how they are reporting it:
The Rizzoli & Isles star, who was 29 at the time of his death, "didn't drink or party," says a source, adding,  "He was the opposite. Lee loved to travel and was always the first to tell everyone to take a breath and enjoy the beauty of life." He was always "gentle and unassuming," despite his early success, and didn't have the typical "look-at-me" attitude.
That said, those close to Young noticed things "really changed" a few years ago when he began practicing Yorùbá, an Africa-based religion which has a saying, "iku ya j'esin", meaning  "death is preferable to ignominy." Some have questioned whether this means that suicide is an acceptable way to preserve personal or family honor in the face of public shame.
