Don’t know a thing about this man or his business. But I hasten to pray for, and offer condolences to, his family and friends. My grandfather died the same way over 50 years ago, self-inflicted gunshot, and I know first hand how long it takes the family to get over such a death.
I realize every person and family has to grieve and recover from such an experience in their own way and at their own pace, but my heart goes out to them.
At least there is one heartfelt comment among the crass messages here.
The real estate market here has been in turmoil, but not as bad as other parts of the country. Good’s firm auctioned off a lot of real estate. It could be the firm was holding a lot of distressed properties and unable to unload them in the current market.
Unlike others here, I wouldn’t subscribe to the conspiracy theories. The company was probably way over-extended.
A friend committed suicide a while back and we couldn’t figure out why he did so; unlike Good, our friend was doing pretty well financially (turns out he had quite a large estate). Later, we learned he had been on anti-depressants; he sure hid his depression well.
