加拿大模特,艺术家 Rick Genest 因为曾出演 Lady Gaga 的歌曲《Born This Way》MV而爆红,他从头到脚被纹得像人骨的刺青更让许多人记忆深刻。他昨天(8.2日)被发现于家中自杀身亡,年仅32岁。
Rick 15岁时患有脑癌,当癌症治愈,生命被救回之后,却备受心理疾病的折磨。他身上的176处纹身已被大世界吉尼斯纪录收录。
好友 Lady Gaga 连发多篇饱含深情的 Twitter,十分惋惜 Rick 的去世。她更是强烈呼吁人们关注心理健康:“如果你正在经受心理疾病的伤害,请向朋友家人寻求帮助。”
The suicide of friend Rick Genest, Zombie Boy is beyond devastating. We have to work harder to change the culture, bring Mental Health to the forefront and erase the stigma that we can’t talk about it. If you are suffering, call a friend or family today. We must save each other. pic.twitter.com/THz6x5JlpB
