After the fitting ending for Jax Teller (Charlie Hunnam) in the "Sons of Anarchy" Season 7 finale, fans of the show are questioning the former SAMCRO's president when he chose to commit suicide while the other Sons can't. Executive Paris Barclay revealed on his latest interview the reason behind Jax's suicide and how his death becomes his "greatest sacrifice" for his sons and for the club.

"He is no longer a Son at that point, so the question is moot because he's already relinquished his president's patch to Chibs and he's just a human being," "Red Rose" director told Entertainment Weekly when he was asked about the "Sons of Anarchy" series finale. "There's something going on of a person who believes that what he's doing is the best thing for others-specifically for his family. He really wants to leave a legacy that's negative in his kids' minds."

When Jax decided to end his life by running into a truck, he is technically not the president of the club as he passed the patch to Chibs. Now that the Irish holds the presidency, the tattooed biker is already considered a civilian and his action does not break any code of the club.

A few seasons ago, when Juice attempted to commit suicide, Chibs is the one who stopped him before tying himself for a "Son doesn't commit suicide." For Jax Teller's case, he is trying to make an impression for his sons, Abel and Thomas, that the life he lived is not the life he wants for them, and they want them to hate him. Choosing death on his term is his "greatest sacrifice."

Barclay also added that Jax wants his kids to look at him at criminal and not a hero, and his suicide was "conceived until he saw the truck" and the cops chasing him on the opposite side. A "poetic balance" that give him the opportunity to end a life that was full of lies and mayhem.

Meanwhile, despite the leak caused by the early release of "Sons of Anarchy: The Official Collector's Edition," the "Sons of Anarchy" series finale was watched by 6.4 million viewers in total with 4.2 million viewers between the age of 18-49, according to Nielsen posted on Deadline. Packed with bloodbath, mayhem and emotional goodbyes, the 90-minute SOA finale is the most watched episodes the seven-year "Sons of Anarchy" run.
