Killed by the competition.

[aculeus]

Actually this happened once before. In the 1960's I dined at a one-star restaurant called La Boullabaisse in an unfashionable Paris location. The food was "okay" the decor was dark and depressing and the tables were nearly all unoccupied.

A few months later, back in the States, I read that the owner had killed himself after Michelin removed his one star.

It's not only food.
