It seems like he didn't want to leave the bush eventhough right after he got back from not being able to cross he recorded he was so scared, lonely, depressed etc. There is no further mention of him trying to leave rather he decided to stay at the bus. I am sure this is baffling to anyone with a stable mindset. It seems like he committed suicide and I see many others agree. Hollywood has only sensationalized the story to sell it as it often does. To me this is just a sad story stemming from a past of personal and family problems. At least the movie showed how painful and sad it was for him in the end because I think that really did represent his mindset (full of pain and suffering that he was trying to cleanse but couldn't. Oh, unless like in the movie that moment there in his last breath hugging his parents is considered an overcoming of all his emotional problems etc.). Of course, just a moment after that he would hopefully have gone to heaven anyway and all his pain gone as well. . Post Extras
