39adamstrand:On 2 May 1991 Jerzy Kosiński attended a party at Gay Talese’s home in New York City. According to Talese, “I had my arm around him, and we were laughing. The things we were talking about had a future tense to them. I saw him often in April and in recent months. There was nothing in his manner to show he was depressed.” A.M. Rosenthal, another friend who attended the same party, had a different opinion. “He was more down than I’ve ever seen him. He was usually so lively, but he told me he had heart trouble, that he had a rapid heartbeat and that he was having difficulty breathing.” The next morning, around 9 am on 3 May 1991, Kosiński’s wife found him dead in the half-filled bathtub with a plastic bag around his head. His suicide note read, “I am going to put myself to sleep now for a bit longer than usual. Call the time Eternity.“ -- source link
