Chris was a little crazy. Risking his own life was crazy in its self. It was also dangerous for him to hitchhike with strangers. I think being alone for that long makes you go crazy to an extent.
He was ignorant. He should have educated himself more before leaving for the trip. He would not have know about the seeds because all he knew about were the roots. His lack of knowledge is what killed him.
He did not have a death wish. He went back to the river to go home and so that shows that he wanted to go home. He also had realized that he should forgive his family. Nothing showed that he wanted to die. He also wrote the note for help when he was ill.
The wild potato seeds are poison to eat. The sweet peas seeds are toxic if eaten in large amounts. The symptoms if eaten are much like scurvy. The symptoms of toxicity are called lathyrism.
