As he wrote in his last note, with this act he was trying to "awaken the living".</p> <p>  </p> <p> <a href="http://i.imgur.com/f4sXM.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="http://imgur.com/f4sXM.jpg"></a></p> <p>  </p> <p> Through the film we discover the lifestyle and social problems that led him to choose this end.
