It is quite clear from your ramblings below that you have very little idea what you are pontificating about. Perhaps instead look up drug (or substance) induced psychosis and you might learn a thing or two. Then leave the investigating to the real investigators.

So lets treat this as if its human factors ground school on the subject of
suicide in aviation.
I did not come up with anything. Its classic res ipso, or more accurately in this case, res ipsa loquitur.
When a person kills themselves, its called suicide.
Normal people do not kill themselves.
All of us suffer mental health problems at some stage of our life and
others more seriously than others.
Yelling insults to complete strangers is one symptom,
Being incapable of listening to others is another.
Suicide is generally caused by depression.
Fact is, Alcohol is a depressant.
Pilots are human beings and are subject to human factors.
Suicide is like an aircraft accident and generally has multiple causes.
Hazardous attitudes more often than not occur because of impairment
in its various forms.
The worst is probably sleep deprivation, stress, anxiety, depression, throw
in alcohol and the wrong medications and its enough to turn any human being
into a mad killer of themselves and or others.
I'm sure every experienced pilot knows of a pilot who was taking the wrong medications
not suitable for aviation, with alcohol and who left or leaves a trail of destruction.
They go from nice guy at the bar to toxic abusers in the cockpit or management.
No examples named, needed or inferred. There are enough of them.
Its very obvious that Blake Wilson was under a variety of stressors
and we can name them.
Just moved country
Just started a new job
Under work pressure
Suffering anxiety
Under pressure to perform
Then there is the anxiety and depression of several years waiting to get a real helicopter job.
Landing, keeping that first job is a large amount of stress.
Obviously, Nautilus liked him and hired him, gave him a chance, entrusted him with
a lot of responsibility, all he had to do was enjoy the ride.
When you join an aviation company, getting smashed at a party is a good way
of demonstrating hazardous attitude.
Nautilus trusted Blake Wilson with a lot of responsibility. They gave him a fantastic career starting opportunity
that most newly minted CPL (H) dream of.
This does not just affect Nautilus, it affects everyone in aviation, its a lesson to all of us.
Its a tragic learning opportunity to use our brains and understand how and why
this tragedy occurred and how to develop the skills to help us deal with these issues in the future.
