Suicide? I noticed that he had a fianc?e at the time of his death, April. They had been together for seven years, he mentions that in the description of a photo: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=3&theater
April now is in a relationship with another man: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theater

I know this is much speculation, but I just have that gut feeling ...
