Anderson Cooper has a piece in Details Magazine this month talking about his brother’s suicide in 1988, at age 23. Interviewed in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Anderson said, “I think about my brother every day…The violence of his death still stuns me, and it comes to me at odd times throughout the day… still have a sense of shock that it transpired at all.”
Anderson’s brother, Carter, was a Princeton student who killed himself in front of their mother by jumping off the terrace of the family apartment. Back in the day, I had a friend who’d dated him, and thought Carter was a sweet, if troubled, guy. She was shocked by his death, as was everyone who knew him (as in how could you not be shocked?) I have a family member who died suddenly in an accident, and believe me, it haunts you.
