IRVING, Texas - Irving police are investigating what led a former staffer of Congresswoman Beth Van Duyne to commit suicide outside her home Wednesday afternoon.

The congresswoman and others were inside the home at the time. Police said they heard a single gunshot, then saw the man lying on the ground outside, and called 911.

Van Duyne released a statement Thursday acknowledging she’s known the man for years, and he’s been to her home several times for holiday parties and get-togethers.

But why he did this is still unknown.

He’ll still probably be listed as a COVID death.

Women don’t sleep with subordinates who look like that guy. This has all the earmarks of a nut job offing himself dramatically.

His LinkedIn profile said he worked on the congresswoman's campaign from November 2019 to April 2020.

In a statement read by a spokesperson, Rep. Van Duyne shared they knew each other well and had spoken just last month.

Doesn't sound like a close relationship. Odd.

She is a doll and she wants someone with big money or that is headed in that direction. Great looking women look for great providers, except my wife who has made an untold number of mistakes. I was told that I am handsome once, but that was a waitress milking me for a big tip.

I think it’s less when they are put on psych meds, and more when they cold turkey off.

He had been psyching himself up for many months to ask her out, but five minutes before he was going to make his big move he suddenly realized he was gay and his mind went “pop.”

Yeah, he was probably in love with her.

Sounds like they knew each other well enough, and she didn’t want to be as close to him as he wanted to be with her.

In my younger years, there was a guy I worked with on occasion. We were cordial with each other during the work day, but didn’t socialize beyond that. He actually creeped me out some, but I never said that outright. I eventually moved to another job in another city a 5 hour drive away. I didn’t stay in touch him or with many of the folks I worked with.

One time, out of the blue, about a year later, he showed up at my new place of employment and begged me to marry him. I had not seen nor talked with him after I left the previous job. To boot, I was engaged to my husband by then. This guy had met my then boyfriend, turned fiancé back when we worked together. It was very unnerving to be stalked like that.
