Not the first, won’t be the last, though this guy was 36. Almost exactly 28 years ago in Denver:
“A rich man’s penchant for flashy cars led police to his house in the investigation of a hit-and-run accident that killed a newspaper columnist. Officers found Spicer Breeden dead in his basement.
Breeden, an heir to one of Colorado’s wealthiest and most prominent families, shot himself in the head, police said.”
Oops, forgot this part of my comment above:
“Breeden, 36, owned a 1995 BMW 540i Sport matching the description of the one that was traveling about 100 mph when it ran Rocky Mountain News columnist Greg Lopez off the road Sunday night.”
