Jeffrey Corzine, the youngest son of former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine, has died of an apparent suicide. He was 31 years old.
The former governor's son was found dead in a Mexico City hotel room a few days ago; he was reportedly found after failing to respond to messages from friends. Corzine, who lived in California and worked as a drug counselor, had a history of substance abuse and depression. "The sad fact is that Jeffrey Corzine had been suffering from severe depression for several years and recently had been receiving treatment for what is a very painful and debilitating physical and mental ailment," Steven Goldberg, a spokesman for the elder Corzine, said in a statement. "On Tuesday morning, he succumbed to his disease and made the tragic decision to take his own life."
Corzine was the youngest son of the former governor and ex-wife Joanne Corzine. He has two siblings, Jennifer Corzine-Pisani and Josh Corzine, and was a visible presence on his father's gubernatorial campaign in 2005. The elder Corzine served as governor from 2006 to 2010, and was succeeded by Chris Christie; Christie issued a statement saying he and his wife "send our personal condolences and condolences on behalf of all the people of New Jersey to the Corzine family during these very sad times."
If someone you know exhibits warning signs of suicide: do not leave the person alone; remove any firearms, alcohol, drugs or sharp objects that could be used in a suicide attempt; and call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255) or take the person to an emergency room or seek help from a medical or mental health professional.
