Steve Bing, an American producer, philanthropist, and writer has died by suicide at the age of 55. According to TMZ, he died on Monday June 22nd after jumping from the 27th floor of a luxury apartment building in L.A.'s Century City neighborhood. Sources told the publication that he had been suffering from depression due to lack of human contact during quarantine.

Bing, who founded Shangri-La Entertainment inherited a fortune of some $600 million from his grandfather, L.A. real estate developer Leo S. Bing.
After dropping out of University, Bing pursued a career in Hollywood and became the executive producer of the Sylvester Stallone film, "Get Carter," in 2000.

In 2003, he co-wrote the action-comedy “Kangaroo Jack,” and he also contributed to “Missing in Action” and wrote an episode of “Married With Children.” The philanthropist later invested some $80 million in “The Polar Express,” the Tom Hanks-voiced 2004 film directed by Robert Zemeckis. Bing had producing credits on films including “CSNY/Deja Vu,” “Rock the Kasbah,” “Get Carter,” “Girl Walks Into a Bar” and a Jerry Lee Lewis documentary in the works.

Bing is survived by his two children, Damian Hurley from his relationship with Elizabeth Hurley and daughter Kira Bonder, who he had with former pro tennis player Lisa Bonder.

Poverty is not the only cause of depression

Sad

He probably needs people to believe in himself. The thing about life is that only God can fill the void. Only an inventor knows the purpose of his invention and how it works. Some people born to poor parents would have heard about the wealth steve's father left him and said, óh how i wish my father left me just small 6 million dollars too, what a lucky guy, what else does he need?'Some of us in the same entertainment field would have seen this guy's hollywood portfolio and said..'óh how i wish i was the one producing these A list hollywood movies. I can't wait to work with sylvester stallone too'. And then the same guy commits suidice and you wonder. In all your doings, know God and live a life of service to humanity.

If you are yet to sub to my channel, you can start your service to humanity by doing so right away. check sig beow

To you who is still alive and reading this, I want you to know sucide is not the answer, neither is it the pathway to rest. Don't let your beautiful self get depressed.

Too bad

This life ehn no just balance

Did he think he was directing a movie.

People please try talking ur way out of depression .

Even the rich are susceptible to things that negatively affect the common people. Things like depression. Wealth isn't actually bulletproof to life's problem.

Whether rich or poor, aim for happiness. They say the good things in life are free. Yes!

Family, friends, smiles, laugh, creating beautiful memories, love etc.
Suicide is never the way.

Just like the way our faces are different, so are our problems. With all these fame and fortune who would have thought that "suicide'' is the best option? May God rest his soul.

Damn, depression is something else a silent killer.

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Too bad

All these people ehnnn
I nor dey understand una o

You inherit 600 million dollars
And you get two children

Which kind depression go still do you for inside this kind wealth
Abi people want still talk say this is as a result of Spiritism, village people, necromancy, mysticism, wizardry and spiritual telepathic transmission!

May God spare us and our loved ones.

See person, see money, see waste

What kind of flimsy excuse is that??

Na wa o, maybe he thought e was in a movie

bad...atimes this depression of a thing looks more like a spiritual case...a rich man jumping to his death because of depression?? or is it drugs and they aint telling,...r.i.p and i pray you get the joy you seek for in the afterlife..

Him for buy dogs to keep him company naaa

OMG! This 2020 shaaaaaaaa

The South East witnessed 3 million of their people die of starvation,yet they didn't commit suicide enmass...but rather,with the money Awolowo(God bless his soul) gave them they got back on their feets despite the hurdles.
Even Ojukwu ran away in women's clothes rather than choose suicide
People whom are bold enough to take their own lives are actually brave,but sometimes cowardice can be beneficial.

Nawaao

God will punish anybody that says drugs will make one commit suicide
