I remember it well. Died at age 40? I had lost track of his story by then. What happened?
I remember when it happened. I was listening to WWDB and Irv Homer the drive time talk show host had caller after calling saying "I'd have take the money too" or "I wouldn't take the money."
Some of the money was never found. Before he hanged himself, he said "I don't know where the money is...but I bet if I walk down the street with a shovel, EVERYONE will start to follow me." RIP.
