Yes, I think he probably didn't go that much in the past few months, relative to the previous decade.
Which would be profoundly depressing. If you were already somewhat unstable, it could lead to a bad outcome.
It's probably more rare that someone at the top of his game kills himself suddenly and for no particular reason. I imagine if you talked to Steve Jobs between Apple and NeXT, he was probably a bit down compared to before or after. The thing is, it seems likely someone like Aaron who spent a decade doing interesting and awesome stuff would be likely to do more stuff like that in the future, particularly after a federal case was resolved, or he either got help with depression or figured out how to deal with it (early 20s is statistically the worst time; even with no other treatment, as lot of people are better off later in life).
So yes, I feel comfortable saying he was likely to have done a lot more awesome stuff over the rest of his life.
