Could it be he created this website with those people who knew him on his mind, for allowing them to maybe get a glimpse of his reasons after the first shock has been swallowed when they got the notice? I also see a good amount of humor there, especially the thing with the gold treasure and GPS coordinates.

And his reaosning on that he does not want to witness certain future events that willbecome very nasty for sure, can be lef tuncommented. I see some of that like him myself, and would be all to happy if I can just leave the stage short before the economy really has the sky falling. I am also living alone and have no kids myself. Would I want to live alone, feeling lonely maybe, getting older and older, more and more depending, physically degrading, intellectually collapsing, maybe missing the day when I have lost last control over my will, my body, turning into a corpus that rots while still moving by reflxes?

Spending some time in a gerontopsychiatric station really can make you think, I tell you. The price for staying alive can become horribly high when you are past a certain age, and become ill. Horribly high for yourself. Horribly for your next of kin. And - last, but not least - financially horribly costly for society. Also, for myself it is clear that I do not want to turn into a senile old baby that has a rubber ball being rolled to it over the floor and that takes three minutes to roll it back (or not) and then has had the moment of the day over that. People who think it is worth to live for that, well, do it, I don't stop you. But neither would I want to see my parents in a state like that, nor would I wait until I turned into that myself. One does not like to talk about it, but high age also can come at the cost of loss of human dignity.

There is an essay by David Hume, "On Suicide". I recommend to read it.
