Writers Who Committed Suicide (27 person items)"When Benjamin was in exile in Paris as a Jewish man, Germans occupied France and his house was invaded by Nazi soldiers. He then escaped to Portbou city near the Spain border, but never stopped being afraid of getting caught by Nazis at any minute, and committed suicide by overdosing on morphine."
