It was pretty awful because we were friends and our kids played with their kids. I never saw any signs of depression in the guy but at home out of the public eye he was dealing with some downer emotions. Was it medication side effects or clinical depression? Was it him beating himself up over not being who he thought he needed to be? Who knows. I doubt he even knew but there was something he wanted to escape from and he finally made the move. Sad.
