ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

David Kellermann

David Kellermann was a person who lived a few years ago. He worked in a big company called Freddie Mac. This company was responsible for helping people buy houses by giving them loans.

David had a really important job in this company. He was in charge of making sure the money was managed properly and that everything was running smoothly. It's kind of like when you play with toys and you need to keep them organized and make sure nothing gets lost.

One day, something really bad happened. David was feeling very sad and overwhelmed because the company was going through some difficult times. People were having trouble paying their loans and it was causing a lot of problems for Freddie Mac.

Unfortunately, David couldn't handle all the stress and sadness. He made a really sad decision and it's really important to remember that this is not a good solution to our problems. He ended his own life, meaning he hurt himself and it made a lot of people very sad.

When someone feels this way, it's really important for them to talk to someone they trust and get help. There are people who can help us feel better when we are sad or overwhelmed. It's also important for us to be kind and supportive to others, because we never know what they might be going through.

It's very sad that this happened to David, and it reminds us that mental health is something we should take seriously. We should always try to be there for each other and help each other when we are going through tough times. Remember, speaking up and asking for help is a brave thing to do.
