No mention of that in the Fox article. Still, I don’t doubt it. But the article did say that, according to a friend, Lamo was receiving death threats. So who knows?
He had been hospitalized several times for mental illness. Sure, it’s suspicious, but the language used by people who knew him is the kind of stuff people use to avoid saying ‘suicide’ or perhaps ‘drug overdose’.
