Hemingway suffered from diabetes and heart disease , possibly related to depression . He also suffered severe financial losses after an unfortunate investment in Florida real estate . In this situation he died by suicide , as did his son Ernest later. This was persecuted all his life by the act of his father; He saw the main fault with his uncle, for having given him bad advice on the real estate business, and with his hated mother. He saw his father's suicide as cowardice and once called it “the best story I've never written”. He took up the subject in The Doctor and the Doctor's Wife and Fathers and Sons .
