Just can’t imagine leaving behind a 10-month old baby and 3 other kids, no matter what had happened to me.
Ray Combs - the 1990s version of Richard Dawson - did the same thing to his family. Except I think he had 5 or 6 young kids when he committed suicide in a psych. ward in 1996. He was in a really bad car accident that left him partially paralyzed in 1994 and I think that - plus the fact his version of Family Feud was canceled, which caused his cash flow to drop to (way less than) zero - drove him to suicide.
