Turns out there was so much more going on than the public ever knew...
Aside from the fact that he might just be the poster child for manic-depression.
Money problems. TV Show got cancelled. Lost his Napa Valley ranch. Not getting offered the parts he wanted anymore. Struggling with sobriety and depression. Then diagnosed with Parkinson's... (You're on your way out the slow way.) He didn't take meds for his depression, because they also killed his creativity. The Manic part of manic depression, was the side we all saw publicly...
I can sort of see where that could lead a person to say, it's been a really good life, but it's downhill and picking up speed from here...
Someone prone to depression could easily be triggered by any one of those. Getting hit with all of them at once? Probably pretty overwhelming! Especially if it's going to make headline national news the second anyone finds out, and you don't want to be pitied...
It's hard to understand those dark places... if you haven't been there.
But it makes a lot more sense as the details begin to emerge.
Turns out the fundraiser at the zoo was his last public appearance, and the people that knew him, said he was mostly interested in seeing his old buddy... kinda makes you wonder if he was saying goodbye?! People who commit suicide, generally do little things that put their life in order for them... signs you only see in 20/20 hindesight. Maybe this was one of the signs?
