When art imitates life, it's not always funny, says CNN's Anderson Cooper.

"In TV and movies, people are always killing themselves by jumping off buildings. It's become the punch line to a joke. I don't watch it. I can't watch it."

Cooper's older brother, Carter, took his own life in 1988, at age 23. He leaped off the balcony of the family apartment in New York as their mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, watched in horror.

"I think about my brother every day," says Cooper, 36, who discusses the tragedy publicly for the first time in a first-person account in the current Details magazine. (He's a contributing editor.)
