Paul Zolezzi, an aspiring model, hanged himself in a Brooklyn Park this Friday. Authorities say that the 30-year-old man, who was struggling from heroin addiction, killed himself just hours after he made an announcement on his Facebook page that he would be taking his life.

In his Facebook page, the following message was found:

Paul Zolezzi is born in San Francisco, became a shooting star over everywhere, and ended his life in Brooklyn… And couldn’t have asked for more.

According to Stephani Zolezzi, the mother of Paul, her son had been on a downward spiral since the end of an engagement about a year ago. She stated “I would say that people get so lonely, so delusional, that all they want to do is be remembered. He probably wanted to be remembered in a big way, to do it dramatically — that’s what drugs will do to people.”

Zolezzi’s body was found hanging from a monkey bar inside Mount Prospect Park along the Eastern Parkway at 7 A.M..
