Sometimes suicides like this are meant to blame somebody, sometimes they’re meant as apologies, sometimes they’re just the product of a black moment brought on by some sudden crisis.
I think he’d probably been working too hard, the situation in ATL is nuts, and he just didn’t do the really right thing, which would have been to throw up his hands and walk away. He was obviously proud of the job he had done, and then something happened.
