possible reason for suicide

[edit]

Was he having money problems? His obituary says that a month before he died, he failed to receive $3,000 in the will of an aunt. I looked up how much that money would be in today's money (2023). It would be about $68,000. Maybe he had money problems. Also, he and his wife had a baby on the way at the time of his death. Seems like an important thing to mention in the article. People don't generally commit suicide for no reason, especially a man with a seemingly successful career, new wife, and baby on the way.
