This man was fabulously succsessful in a difficult field, and wealthy. Maybe his voice was shot and obviously he had psychological problems.
BUT
He could teach or direct, or sit on his duff and drink and do nothing by cashing in his pricey Connecticutt real estate, and still have a comfortable lifestyle and afford the therapy to get through his problems.
But no; he shot himself, leaving two children to wonder why. I can't I respect him, OR feel sorry for him, the latter being the reaction from the world that he was probably looking for.
Perhaps there is/was a skeleton in his closet...
