I wish that would’ve been in writing and not hearsay. Sick of this type of shite happening.

I am not suggesting it was not suicide but if he actually told someone that and he wasn't joking I would have expected him to have a deadman switch.

Even in clear cases of suicide (ie a phone call right before to a loved one) people often say how they would have never expected it. People tend to keep things like that to themselves and in retrospect the ones left behind don't want to see any signs because it could/would make them feel responsible. I have seen witnesses' entire lives fall apart in cases that didn't have near the stakes and unlike this case weren't going to play out in the international media.
