Dalam proyek ini akan dibahas apa saja tanda-tanda yang mengindikasikan bahwa Logan mempunyai keinginan bunuh diri, penyebab mengapa ia mempunyai keinginan bunuh diri dan bagaimana akhirnya ketika ia menghadapi kematian.

Dari penelitian proyek ini disimpulkan bahwa Logan memiliki keinginan bunuh diri karena kehilangan teman-teman dan keluarganya dan keinginan bunuh diri itu diindikasikan dengan kebiasaan Logan yang sering mabuk-mabukan dan mudah tersinggung, dan ketika ia sekarat ia justru merasakan kedamaian.
