It is not uncommon for people to make the decision to end their life and, rather happily, finish all their necessary chores before pulling the trigger. Plus, it need not be a sign of guilt over some political scandal. This is how some people react to a spouse leaving, a death in the family or a terminal illness diagnosis.
I’m sure the truth will come out sooner or later. Sad for his family and friends.
I am very glad for your upbeat Hallmark analysis.
