Who knows?

Medical challenges can lead to deep depression.

If you lined everyone up on that show and told me to rank them on who would commit suicide, he would probably have been near the top of the list.

No specific reason, just a gut feeling.

Mark Balelo, who was a guest bidder in seasons 2-4. He committed suicide shortly after filming his appearance in season 4.

Guy named Mark Belalo, I actually worked with him for a while in Southern Cali. He was from Brazil, one crazy arse mofo. Good dude tho, he was self made. At one time, he had one of the largest valet operations in Cali. He moved here from Brazil and lived out of an old Cadillac he had bought until he got his valet business going then he was quick rich.

Didn't know that.


Must be a government conspiracy.

Apparently, he just pulled his thumb out and wants to know if you want to smell it.
